3. Unexplained Weight Loss
Most people are happy when they lose weight; however, unexplained weight loss can signify a serious medical condition, such as fatty liver disease complicated with liver fibrosis. This situation doesn’t include people who’ve made positive changes to their diet or increased their amount of daily exercise.
Unexplained weight loss is defined as losing 10 or more pounds over a six-month period without trying. Alternatively, anyone who loses 5 percent or more of their body weight should speak to their doctor.4‘Unexplained Weight Loss: Causes, Treatments.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17770-unexplained-weight-loss.
