Popis: Preview When a patient presents with involuntary weight loss, the etiologic considerations can be overwhelming. To plan a cost- effective workup, physicians need to be aware of the most common causes of weight loss and the tests that yield the most pertinent data. Drs Wise and Craig review the clinical studies on unintentional weight loss and suggest an initial approach to management.
