What is Electrolyte Imbalance in Malnourished Children about?
This study investigates the prevalence and patterns of electrolyte imbalance in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) at a nutritional stabilization center in Pakistan. Out of 92 children studied, 93.4% exhibited electrolyte imbalances, with hypokalemia being the most common at 70.08%, followed by hypocalcemia, hyponatremia, and hypomagnesemia. The findings highlight the critical need for serum electrolyte assessment in SAM cases to improve treatment outcomes.
