  • Title: Renal function in protein-energy malnutrition.
    Author: Paniagua R, Santos D, Muñoz R, Luengas J, Frenk S.
    Journal: Pediatr Res; 1980 Nov; 14(11):1260-2. PubMed ID: 6779258.
    Abstract:
    So far, most studies on renal function in children with advanced protein-energy malnutrition have shown an impairment of glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow, as well as diminished ability to excrete an acid load and a concentrated urine. Investigation of these functions in eight marasmic infants and eight children with kwashiorkor once they were free of obvious infections and acute electrolyte disturbances has shown a practically normal renal performance.
