HI
Welcome to HCM
First of all ask your friend to stop HCG injections .
Can you say how much weight your friend has lost ? And over what duration ?
There are many causes for weight loss and some are very serious causes for example Cancer . She needs a detailed evaluation to look into the cause of weight loss .
If you can upload the previous investigation reports so that i can go through it any advise better for the evaluation and help in diagnosis .
Also I would advise her to take Whole body PET scan and revert back with report . ---- Dr.Divakara.P
