Weight loss: I would look for other reasons for the weight loss such as lower calorie intake and/or increased exercise. However if unexplained weight loss increases she must be evaluated for conditions like diabetes, overactive thyroid or malignancy. Her physician would take a history, perform a physical exam and order appropriate tests.
