Critical Illness Cachexia

Critical Illness Cachexia is a metabolic syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue that arises in response to severe systemic inflammation and hypercatabolism during prolonged critical illness, distinguishing it from other forms of malnutrition or wasting by its resistance to conventional nutritional support and its association with multisystem organ dysfunction.
