Protein energy wasting; what is it and what can we do to prevent it?
Pediatr Nephrol. 2021 02; 36(2):287-294.PN

Abstract

Some children with declining height and BMI SDS fail to respond to optimisation of nutritional intake. As well as poor growth, they have muscle wasting and relative preservation of body fat. This is termed protein energy wasting (PEW). The process results from an interaction of chronic inflammation alongside poor nutritional intake. This review discusses the causes and potential preventative therapies for PEW.
