Hypoproteinemic symptom complex in children

Children often have general edema that is not caused by heart disease or kidney disease. Due to the absence of albuminuria, these edemas are often called non-proteinaceous. Back in 1887-1897. Protein-free edema in children was described by Barte, Sanne, Filatov, and others, as a relatively rare disease that sometimes develops primarily, and sometimes in acute infections (for example, with scarlet fever, measles, and acute intestinal catarrh). The appearance of edema in children with unilateral carbohydrate nutrition, an edematous form of carbohydrate eating disorder has been studied in detail and described by Czerny and Keller. The group of protein-free edema also includes edema disease, first described back in 1742 by the English physician Pringel. Edema during fasting has been described at various times by many authors.
