Brief Answer:
Patient re-evaluation thoroughly required.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for getting back with the query.

Yes, in some cases it might also happen. Underlying disease remains silent/dormant and only manifestation is of weight loss. In that case patient is thoroughly re-evaluated. It starts from detailed history, general physical examination & some basic lab investigations like CBC, Chest X-ray, Ultrasound abdomen, etc. Results from all these help us to reach a definitive diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.

Wishing you good health !!

As i mentioned earlier that while taking history one goes through all aspects of patient including his/her personal history and we do ask questions about depression & stress as well. Long term stress/depression can also result in weight loss.

I'll be happy if you have any more followup query.
