Biochemical Aspects In Under Six Years Malnourished Sudanese Children

Abstract

This research focus with the effects of malnutrition on some biochemical factors specially , total protein , albumin , globulins , urea , serum iron and electrolytes in Sudanese children whose age range between two months and six years . The research has covered 50 children, 40 of them has been already diagnosed as marasmus , kwashiorkor or marasmic kwashiorkor the other 10 children are normally growing children . The research has specifically been conducted for determining the impact of malnutrition on the above mentioned biochemical factors . ‫‪The obtained results revealed that there is no difference‬‬ ‫. ‪between the samples and controls except in the serum total iron‬‬ ‫‪Serum potassium and haemoglobin where there is a significant‬‬ ‫, ‪difference between the controls and samples using t. test‬‬ ‪where the p value in all cases is less Than 0.05.
