  302. Kwashiorkor is and the infections?
    • can not make lipoproteins that carry fat from the liver so you end up with a fatty liver.
    • -no antibodies = increase infection
    • -increase infection= increase kwashiorkor
    • - other proteins decrease making them mroe suseptable to infection
