Wasting is usually due to hyperthyroidism, diabetes, tuberculosis, tumors and other diseases.
1. Hyperthyroidism: mostly caused by toxic diffuse goiter, thyroiditis, nodular toxic goiter and other diseases, which can lead to excessive thyroid hormones in the body, resulting in typical symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, fear of heat, excessive sweating and emaciation.
2. Diabetes mellitus: usually caused by defective insulin secretion and action due to genetic or environmental factors. Its typical symptoms are three more and one less, i.e. polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss. Diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar glucose syndrome, diabetic eye disease and other serious complications can occur.
3. Tuberculosis: It is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can involve many organs of the body, with pulmonary tuberculosis being the most common. The clinical process is mostly chronic, which can be manifested as low fever, fatigue, emaciation and other systemic symptoms. It can lead to tuberculous meningitis, and patients can experience dizziness and other symptoms.
In addition to the above diseases, tumors and other diseases can lead to wasting symptoms. Patients should seek timely medical attention to clarify the cause of the disease and actively treat it.
