Answer:

Protein-energy undernutrition (PEU), previously called protein-energy malnutrition, is an energy deficit due to deficiency of all macronutrients. It commonly includes deficiencies of many micronutrients. PEU can be sudden and total (starvation) or gradual.

Protein-energy malnutrition is associated with an increased risk of liver cirrhosis complications, including ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatorenal syndrome.

Protein-Energy Malnutrition. Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is an important cause worldwide of secondary immune deficiency. PEM may manifest as either marasmus, a wasting disease due to lack of protein and overall calories, or kwashiorkor, which presents with generalized edema due to primary protein malnutrition.

Kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition predominant) Marasmus (deficiency in calorie intake) Marasmic kwashiorkor (marked protein deficiency and marked calorie insufficiency signs present, sometimes referred to as the most severe form of malnutrition)
