Abstract
Renal tubular handling of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate and aminoacids in children suffering from marasmus and kwashiorkor revealed wastage of phosphate and aminoacids. In the malnourished children aminoaciduria could contribute significantly to the negative nitrogen balance. Exact cause of this tubular functional defect is not known.Entities:
