Doctors for Marasmus Treatment in Chandanagar

Marasmus is a severe form of malnutrition that happens when a person, often a child, does not get enough food for a long time. The body starts using its own fat and muscle for energy, causing extreme weight loss, weakness, and a very thin appearance. It can make someone look "wasted" and leaves them more likely to get sick.

Marasmus may cause symptoms such as delayed development, growth failure and muscle wasting. Depending on the condition and its severity, delayed medical care may result in persistent symptoms, progression of the disease, or related complications.

At Medicover Hospitals in Chandanagar, our experienced doctors (pediatricians) provide evaluation and treatment for marasmus.
