How to Assess Nutritional Status

[@oziiluv]

Ascites is associated with kwashiorkor, not marasmus. Both are severe forms of protein energy malnutrition, but the abdominal swelling is pathognomic for kwashiorkor. Great video though.

[@citizensurgeon]

Appreciate the correction that was definitely a gaffe! Ascites = Kwashiokor

great job , the half life of retinol binding protein is 12 hr. not 12 day so it makes RBP the most specific lab test for nutritional assess

Can you do a video on short bowel syndrome and entercutaneous fistulas ?

This video can save me from my written exam!!! Thank you Dr.

[@citizensurgeon]

That is amazing, thanks so much for letting me know, gives me the motivation to make more content, blood transfusion talk coming out in a day!

[@artnidokmd-7527]

@@citizensurgeon Thank you Dr. I'll keep in touch with your youtube channel

[@SJ-hd1br]

Thanks for the video. It would be better if there was no background music though. IMO it is distracting and sounds weird when I speed up the video. Secondly, something I was reading in my assigned textbook about the use of upper arm/triceps diameter. However, I noticed this was not mentioned in your video. What is your input on the use of the triceps diameter for assessing nutritional status? Thanks. :)

[@citizensurgeon]

Thanks! I ditched the background music thanks to your comment! Should be better now!
