Question

write protein deficiency disorder and symptom on it​

Answer 1

Protein deficiency indicates a lack of body protein or a relative deficiency of one or several essential amino acids. Thus, protein deficiency is synonymous with a negative nitrogen balance. The deficiency can result from a protein-deficient diet or other events, such as diseases, and it must be distinguished from the multifactorial syndrome of kwashiorkor. However, the clinical features and physiological effects are generally similar to those of kwashiorkor.

In this article the causes and groups at risk of protein deficiency are described. Its clinical features, physiological effects and treatment are explained. The adaptation to low-protein intake and protein reserves of the body are discussed.
