15
Q

Kwashiorkor

A

acute malnutrition due to lack of dietary protein

causes: famine, food “faddism”, perceived intolerances (diary and gluten),

16
Q

Symptoms of Kwashiorkor

A
decreased muscle 
diarrhea
Edema 
fatigue 
large belly that sticks out 
increased and more severe infections 
rash and sores that dont heal
17
Q

BUN

A

urea nitrogen is what forms when protein breaks down
normal is 6-20 mg/dL
lower than normal seen in low protein/malnutrition

18
Q

Creatinine clearance test

A

compares level in urine and blood
this is a break down product of creatine which is impt part of muscles
Muscles protein always breaks down in cases of starvation-induced malnutrition

19
Q

What are normal creatinine values?

A

Male: 97 to 137 ml/min
Female: 88 to 128 ml/min

21
Q

Tyrosine is necessary for…

A

melanin production

22
Q

What is the mechanism behind PKU?

A

Inability to break down phenylalanine due to due to lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH)

23
Q

What is the treatment for PKU?

A

Low pheylalannine diet

24
Q

What is the mechanism for Maple syrup urine disease?

A

Inability to break down the branched chain amino acids

25
Q

What changes pepsinogen to pepsin?

A

H+

26
Q

What changes trypinogen to trypsin?

A

Enteropeptidase

27
Q

What cleaves chymotrypsinogen to chymotrysin?

A

Trypsin

28
Q

What cleaves proelastase to elastase?

A

Trypsin

29
