“…Nutritional deficiencies, whether quantitative or qualitative, are a very common cause leading to a state of malnutrition [1][2][3]. Directly or indirectly, it is the first cause of acquired immunodeficiency facilitating a large number of serious microbial infections that can lead to death [4][5][6][7]. The severe acute malnutrition is an advanced stage of malnutrition defined by the following criteria: W/T (weight/height) <-3 scores, or brachial perimeter (MUAC) <115 mm and/or bilateral presence of edema associated with medical complications or lack of appetite [8].…”

The objective of this study was to study the electrolyte and acid-base disorders observed during severe acute malnutrition in children under 5 years old. The electrolyte and acid-base aspects of severe acute malnutrition concerned potassium, sodium, pH. Blood ionograms were performed on 30 children from 6 to 60 months admitted to Nutritional and Intensive Therapeutic Unit (NITU). Anthropometric and clinical parameters were also reassessed which clinically confirmed the severity of malnutrition. The results showed that Hyponatraemia was the most observed disorder; 63.3% of the malnourished with a clear dominance in the group of edematous children. However, 30% of the children in the category without edema had normonatremia. 53.3% of children had hypokalemia and 26.7 presented hyperkalemia. Then 100% of malnourished children with or without edema presented acidosis; that represents 80% of these 30 children. The blood ionograms performed revealed variable electrolyte disturbances and acidosis which must be considered in the management of acute severe malnutrition because some electrolytic disorders even minimal can be indicative of serious complications.

“…Poor nutritional status and loss of muscle mass have been associated with increased chemo-induced toxicity [ 11 , 12 , 13 ], decreased cytostatic tolerance [ 14 ], and delay and/or reduction of cytostatic dosing [ 15 , 16 ], as well as inferior treatment outcome [ 17 , 18 ] and reduced survival rate [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. The estimated prevalence of malnutrition and/or risk of malnutrition among different types of cancer patients have been reported to be between 30% and 80%, with the highest prevalence rates in patients with advanced stages of cancer [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Background: Cancer and side effects from cytostatic treatment commonly affect nutritional status manifested as a decrease in muscle mass. We aimed to investigate the impact of nutrition and lifestyle-related factors on muscle mass in patients with hematological cancer. Methods: Dietary intake, food preferences, quality of life (QoL), and physical activity level (PAL) were monitored during 1–2 cytostatic treatment series. Body composition was estimated using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Results: 61 patients were included. Weight loss and loss of muscle mass were detected in 64% and 59% of the patients, respectively. Muscle mass was significantly positively correlated to increasing PAL (p = 0.003), while negatively correlated to increasing age (p = 0.03), physical QoL (p = 0.007), functional QoL (p = 0.05), self-perceived health (p = 0.004), and self-perceived QoL (p = 0.007). Weight was significantly positively correlated to increased intake of soft drinks (p = 0.02) as well as the favoring of bitter grain and cereal products (p = 0.03), while negatively correlated to increasing age (p = 0.03) and increasing meat intake (p = 0.009) Conclusions: Several nutritional and lifestyle-related factors affected change in body composition. The clinical significance of these changes should be investigated in controlled, interventional studies.
