Abstract:
Unintentional weight loss is one of the common clinical symptoms with potential serious clinical implications. There are a variety of potential etiologies and special factors to be considered. Comprehensive evaluation of these patients should be based on the relevant results found in the medical history,physical examination,and laboratory tests. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the clinical importance,underlying etiologies,and rational management of unintentional weight loss.
