Hello,
Although there can be various causes for severe weightloss with increased urination like chronic illness and cancers but the most important and most prevalent cause is uncontrolled diabetes.
Your son requires a consultation with an internal medicine soecilaist for examination and detailed investigations to arrive at the diagnosis and proper management.
Treatment would depend upon finding the cause.
Thanks
