A member asked:

Unexplained weight loss over the last 3 years, 96kg to 65 kg and still falling.had. had lots of full blood tests and xrays. no cause found. need advice on what sort of specialist to see in durban area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bowel Ischemia: Consider getting angiogram of the mesentary arterial system. Continuous unexplained weight loss when other causes are ruled out may be due to intermittent ischemic attacks which may not have significant signs or symptoms. Especially if other vascular risk factors are present, such as cigarettes smoking, family or medical history of vascular insufficiency & advance age. Consult a vascular surgeon.
