Summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effect of malnutrition on liver and spleen stiffness in children using shear wave elastography. Two groups of participants will be enrolled: children diagnosed with malnutrition and age-matched healthy controls. Organ stiffness measurements will be compared between the two groups to assess the impact of malnutrition on liver and spleen tissue properties.

Conditions

  • Malnutrition in Children
  • Liver Stiffness
  • Spleen Stiffness
  • Shear Wave Elastography

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Shear Wave Elastography

Shear wave elastography will be used to measure liver and spleen stiffness in all participants. The procedure will be performed using standard ultrasound-based elastography protocols by a pediatric radiologist.
