A member asked:
What amount do you have to weight to be admitted into the hospital for anorexia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter: In general while weight is one part of the patient's condition that is taken into account, doctors will look at the whole picture in someone with anorexia. Physical exam, mental condition, and especially labs and testing will determine if admission is warranted.
