Kwashiorkor is also called “edematous malnutrition” due to its relation with edema or fluid retention.
It is a nutritional disorder and is mostly found in rural areas or areas experiencing famine. It is a type of malnutrition that is caused due to lack of protein in the daily diet.

fatigue
diarrhoea

failure to gain weight
stunted growth
