What Causes Weight Loss Without Diet Changes?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It is understandable to be concerned about unintentional weight loss. You are being proactive enough by screening for possible dangerous causes. The blood tests should include a complete blood count and also a inflammatory marker (esr, c reactive protein). The inflammatory markers go up if there is any reason for inflammation in the body and would be elevated in cancer. I hope this helps
