I am getting my physical soon and would like to know if there is a blood test for weight loss. over the past few months, i lost about 10 lbs. i did have issues with acid reflux and duodenitis.

Your doctor should k: Inform your doctor about your weight loss. He should check your CBC and liver functions including proteins like Albumin level. These may indicate some abnormality if there is something internal going on. The weight should go up once your acid reflux has been treated with antacids.
