urea has been researched along with Kwashiorkor in 20 studies
pseudourea: clinical use; structure
isourea : A carboximidic acid that is the imidic acid tautomer of urea, H2NC(=NH)OH, and its hydrocarbyl derivatives.
Kwashiorkor: A syndrome produced by severe protein deficiency, characterized by retarded growth, changes in skin and hair pigment, edema, and pathologic changes in the liver, including fatty infiltration, necrosis, and fibrosis. The word is a local name in Gold Coast, Africa, meaning displaced child. Although first reported from Africa, kwashiorkor is now known throughout the world, but mainly in the tropics and subtropics. It is considered to be related to marasmus. (From Dorland, 27th ed)

| " A state of hyperammonaemia with slightly reduced blood urea was found in both forms of PEM but was more marked in kwashiorkor." | 3.67 | A profile of ammonia-urea values in blood and cerebrospinal fluid in children with protein energy malnutrition. ( Abo-Hussein, SA; Akhnoukh, S; el-Melegy, S; Farag, SI; Hussein, ZM; Shebl, SS, 1984) |
| "Investigations using ammonium citrate-(15)N and urea-(15)N showed that children in the acute stage of kwashiorkor and marasmus receiving a diet of adequate protein content retained a considerable percentage of the label from both compounds." | 3.65 | Studies with 15N-labeled ammonia and urea in the malnourished child. ( McLaren, DS; Nassar, S; Read, WW; Tchalian, M, 1969) |
