Not directly : Unless you haven't been eating. Sudden weight loss that was not intentional should be promptly evaluated and depending on other findings in history and physical, additional testing should be performed to make sure you do not have a malignancy that you are unaware of. Get a good exam and be sure to stress to doctor that this wt loss was sudden and not intentional.
