The biochemical parameter often used as an index for monitoring the recovery from kwashiorkor is
-
Plasma albumin
-
Plasma creatinine
-
Plasma glucose
-
None of these
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Plasma albumin is often used as an index for monitoring the recovery from kwashiorkor because it is a protein found in the blood that reflects the nutritional status of an individual. Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition characterized by protein deficiency, and plasma albumin levels decrease in individuals with this condition. Therefore, monitoring plasma albumin levels can help assess the effectiveness of treatment and the overall recovery from kwashiorkor. Plasma creatinine and plasma glucose are not specific indicators of kwashiorkor, and "None of these" is not a valid option as plasma albumin is indeed used for monitoring recovery from kwashiorkor.
