Diarrhea caused by
Dehydration
Dehydration will cause the body's metabolic balance. This disorder can cause death in infants. Infant deaths are more due to dehydration. You see, fluid intake is not balanced by spending through vomiting and diarrhea, although the last bit by bit. Many people assume that such discharge is common in the diarrhea. However, the result is extremely dangerous. Percentage loss of liquid does not have a lot of new leads to death. Loss of body fluids as much as 10% have been life threatening. In infants, this condition can lead to death after a hospital for 2-3 days. For example, 3-month-old infant weighing 6 kg. If the fluid lost as much as 10% of their body weight, mean body weight decreased by 0.6 kg. Total weight is equivalent to the volume of water approximately 20-30 cc. If you have diarrhea 5-10 times a day, within 2-3 days the baby will have a critical, especially if food intake does not exist. Before death occurs, severe dehydration symptoms would appear that the wrinkled skin, sunken eyes, sunken fontanel, dry lips and mouth and even break-pecah.Dehidrasi divided into three kinds, namely mild dehydration, dehydration medium, and severe dehydration. Called mild dehydration if fluids lost 5%. if fluid loss is more than 10% is called dehydration. In the severe dehydration, reduced blood volume, heart rate and increased denvut fast but weak, blood pressure lowering, the patient is weak, decreased consciousness, and people with very pale.
Growth Disorders
This disorder occurs due to the suspension of food intake of nutrients spending continues to run. If not handled properly, will become chronic diarrhea.

ASI still rnerupakan best food for babies and toddlers because it contains elements that help the natural immune defense of the child's body.
In adults, diarrhea rarely cause death. In infants or children, in a short time, the diarrhea will cause death. If the diarrhea can be cured but it often happens again, will cause the child's weight continues to decline. As a result, the child malnutrition which inhibits the growth of physical and network otaknya.Seperti known, 60% of brain growth in children since the child was still inside the womb until age 2 years. Diarrhea in children under 2 years old (and young) will interfere with brain development. A small brain volume and brain tissue becomes less than their normal growth. Malnourished condition will also be followed by another barrage of physical conditions that aggravate the baby. Endurance decreased in infants kuranggizi would enable her fragile and vulnerable to various bacterial diseases, such as the germs that cause respiratory tract infections.
Compared with acute diarrhea, chronic diarrhea (chronic) the most frequent cause of death. Death can also be caused by secondary infection caused by diarrhea. If not passed, the baby will continue to lose weight so that stunted physical growth.
