Unexplained weight loss refers to a significant reduction in body weight that occurs without any obvious cause, such as changes in diet or physical activity levels. This condition can be concerning and may indicate underlying health issues. Weight loss is considered unexplained when it is substantial, typically greater than 5% of body weight, and occurs over a relatively short period, such as a few months. Common causes include chronic diseases such as cancer, where the body loses weight due to increased metabolic demands and loss of appetite. Endocrine disorders, like hyperthyroidism or diabetes, can also lead to unexplained weight loss through mechanisms such as increased metabolism or loss of glucose through urine. Gastrointestinal conditions, such as peptic ulcers, Crohn's disease, or celiac disease, may impair nutrient absorption and cause weight loss. Other potential causes include chronic infections like tuberculosis or HIV, mental health issues such as depression or anxiety, which can reduce appetite and lead to weight loss, and certain medications or substance abuse.
Treatment for unexplained weight loss focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause. This typically involves a thorough medical evaluation, including a detailed history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as blood work, imaging studies, or endoscopic procedures. Once a diagnosis is made, treatment may include managing the specific condition with medications, dietary changes, or surgery. In cases where weight loss is due to psychological factors, counseling or therapy may be beneficial. Ensuring adequate nutrition and caloric intake through dietary adjustments or supplements may also be necessary to stabilize weight and support overall health.
