Kwashiorkor, also known as “edematous malnutrition” because of its association with edema (fluid retention), is a nutritional disorder most often seen in regions experiencing famine. It is a form of malnutrition caused by a lack of protein in the diet.

Hey mate! Here is your answer:-
Kwashiorkor is a form of severe protein malnutrition characterized by edema, and an enlarged liver with fatty infiltrates. Sufficient calorie intake, but with insufficient proteinconsumption, distinguishes it from marasmus. Kwashiorkor cases occur in areas of famine or poor food supply.Cases in the developed world are rare.
Jamaican Pediatrician Cicely Williamsintroduced the name into the medical community in a 1935 Lancet article, two years after she published the disease's first formal description in the Western medical The name is derived from the Ga language of coastal Ghana, translated as "the sickness the baby gets when the new baby comes" or "the disease of the deposed child",and reflecting the development of the condition in an older child who has been weaned from the breast when a younger sibling comes. Breast milk contains proteins and amino acids vital to a child's growth. In at-risk populations, kwashiorkor may develop after a mother weans her child from breast milk, replacing it with a diet high in carbohydrates, especially sugar.
Hope it helps you.....
