The answer is kwashiorkor. Due to lack of proper nutrition, fat deposition occurs in the liver causing a condition called hepatomegaly (enlargened liver).  This is caused by low proteins in the blood due to poor nutrition. This causes the cardiovascular system and lymphatic system to be unable to overcome hydrostatic pressure since the capacity of the blood plasma as a colloidal suspension is reduced (due to lack of enough albumin in the plasma).
