Transliterate it as Kawashiorkar OR proteeno(n) kii kamee say honey wAlA rog
Explanation:
I could not find a Hindi equivalent despite searching the most comprensive dictionaries. It appears that we have not evolved any word for it. Therefore, you may consider transliterating it as Kawashiorkar only. Alternatively, you may translate it as proteeno(n) kii kamii say honey wAla rog.

Kawashiorkar is a disease caused due to deficiency of proteins.
Symptoms-:

(1) Child becomes irritable, anaemic & has an enlarged liver

(2) Abdomen & feet of the child swells due to retention of water.

(3) Brain development & mental capacities of child is retarded

Cure-: A protein rich diet containing
(1) Wheat, gram, peanuts, soyabean & jaggery

(2) Animal protein like meat & fish

kawashiorkar
क्वाशिओरकर


Explanation:
In the NCERT science and technology text book in Hindi for 9th Standard this disease is mentioned as:

क्वाशिओरकर

Here is the description given there of this disease:

क्वाशिओरकर

यह प्रोटीन की अत्यधिक हीनता से उत्पन्न विकार है। 1-3 वर्ष के बच्चे को जब प्रतिदिन के आहार में 1 ग्राम प्रोटीन/किग्रा शारीरिक वजन से भी कम मात्रा मिले तब बच्चा इस रोग से पीड़ित हो जाता है।

This word is originally of the Ga language which is spoken in Ghana. It is accepted as it is in English and many other languages, including Hindi.

agree  Arun Singh: The disease is named on certain terms, therefore transliteration is the only choice.
