“…In man, protein malnutrition is typically accompanied by low serum transferrin concentrations, apparently due to exhaustion of the amino acid pool upon which protein synthesis depends. 43 The prognosis of Kwashiorkor may be correlated with serum transbin levels. Extremely low values (less than 33 mg/ dl) have ominous significance, possibly because the Iron-binding capacity of the transferrin is exceeded by the serum iron so that the bacteriostatic function of transferrin is undermined.4446…”
