Edematous also known as kwashiorkor. It is the disease of deficiency of protein in diet which leads to savior complication if treated and diagnosed on time like coma and shocks and the results can be as terrible as death.
Protein, is the building block of body and it is necessary for the growth of the body. Every cell is made up of protein and it is necessary for the process of making of cells so it is necessary in the diet of the person. But if lack in this component of diet then our body finds an alternate and start to consume the body protein which results in organ failures and other complications and if we still not take it serious then it can even result in death.
Protein and other mineral initially comes from mothers and if mother is lacking in these minerals and proteins then there offspring will definitely going to face such problems because her offspring need protein needs other nutrient to grow and if her mother do not have then his offspring is going to be weak from his/her birth.
The Kwashiorkor is common in those area where literacy rate is low in that sense because they think the female is burden for the family and on society so they do not treat them well and do not feed them well which initially leads to the deficiency and become the block of kwashiorkor because she have to give birth to new life and her offspring is totally going to be dependent on her. But if she is lacking then her offspring is definitely going to lacking. The kwashikor is less common in developed countries and where education rate is higher because they treat there girls well.
It is also common in those area where they are facing war situations or surrounded by the natural disasters like drought e.t.c.
The symptoms of kwashikor are fatigue, loss of mass from muscles, diarrhea, loss of immunity so the patients get ill continuously, inflammation on belly and swelling of joints like ankle.if it is not treated then the condition get worse to worst like coma and recurring shock and even death.
We can eliminate this disease by changing some of our habits like we need to give special priority in diets to the females from there childhoods so she will be strong at the time when she will give birth to new life.
The new born needs our special attetion in there diets till there growing age. They should eat healthy food which is rich in proteins and carbohydrates . By making these changes we can easily defeats kwashiorkor.
