Answer 2

Answer:

Kwashiorkor is a disease caused by a deficiency of protein and energy.

Explanation:

These diseases are collectively called as PEM or protein-energy malnutrition. This malnutrition is caused as a result of the lack of proteins, especially albumin and globulin in the diet.

This leads to the change in the blood osmolarity, because of altered protein content. This leads to water retention in body cells, thereby the formation of edema in the body. Belly becomes huge and fluffy. Urine is less in amount and deep yellow.
