A member asked:
Does monthly weight loss (71kg -> 70.4kg, hb 10.6 -> 71kg, hb 11.1 -> 70.2kg) along with anemia indicate serious illness for 57+ yr female ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, No, and Maybe: Losing a couple of pounds in one month, or gaining a couple of pounds in one month, or staying the same weight over one month... all have no special meaning by themselves, because they happen in normal healthy people, in people with "mild" diseases, and in people with "serious" diseases. The only way to tell is to get the whole picture of what is happening with a particular patient.
