Always some reason: Kids do not get persistent weight loss for no reason. Most of the time, there is some illness if the weight loss is unintentional. An important part of an evaluation is an appointment for the doctor to check the patient thoroughly from head to toe (about a 30 minute appointment), have the child keep a daily diary, do lab tests, and then another 30-40 minute re-examination appt. 2-3 weeks later.

Weight loss: If the weight loss occurred despite having a good appetite, make sure that her lab work included a reading of her blood sugar as diabetes can present like that.
