A member asked:

My girlfriend has lost around 14 kilos since dec '15 without any effort. she did her annual checkup and blood tests are all ok. should we be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight loss.: Unintentional weight loss is always a concern and should be investigated until a presumptive cause is elucidated. "Check-up" type blood testing likely does not scratch the surface as far as diagnostic possibilities. She needs to go further.
