Hematologic and Bone Marrow Changes in Children with Protein-Energy Malnutrition

Abstract: The most common hematologic change in the children with PEM was anemia and major cause of anemia was iron deficiency in this study. Patients with severe PEM have normal Vit B12 and serum folate levels. Most of the patients with severe PEM had normal cellularity with megaloblastic and dysplastic changes in bone marrow due to the inadequate and imbalanced intake of protein and energy.

“…In a study done by Ozkale et al (Turkey, 2014) anemia was detected in 97% of patients with PEM and the major cause of anemia was hypochromic microcytic in this study. 23 In a recent study done by Thakur et al in New Delhi (2014), of the 131 patients with SAM, 81.1% had anemia. 67.3% of these had severe anemia and 13.8% had moderate anemia.…”

“…Los valores de VCM < 70 fl, ST < 15%, Fe < 36 μg/dl y ferritina < 10-12 ng/ml se consideraron valores de corte para el diagnóstico de AF. 6,22 También se midieron los valores de vitamina B12, ácido fólico y reticulocitos.…”

“…1,3,4 La ferropenia es la carencia nutricional más frecuente en todo el mundo; además, se observan anemia por inflamación y AF en los niños con desnutrición. [4][5][6] En la actualidad, las pruebas tradicionales para el diagnóstico de la AF no bastan. 7 Si se usan por separado, ninguna es lo suficientemente sensible o específica como para diagnosticar la AF.…”

“…1,3,4 Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in all over the world; and besides anemia of inflammation, IDA can be observed in children with malnutrition. [4][5][6] Currently, the classical tests used for diagnosing IDA are no sufficient. 7 When used alone, none of them has enough sensitivity or specificity to diagnose IDA.…”
