It can be due to many diseases. Fortunately, almost all are curable.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for your interest in your health. I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar and I will help you out right now. You mention that there is an abnormal weight loss. This can mean anything. Because you have not mentioned how much you weigh and how much weight you have actually lost, after, of course mentioning, over what period of time this weight was lost.

Do you have any health problems? Perhaps. These can cause a weight loss.
Do you take any medications for any problem?
Have you lost your appetite?
Do you have any problems with issues like alcohol or smoking or any other compulsive behaviours? (Anorexia nervosa is a compulsive behaviour that causes massive weight loss)

Think about it. Perhaps you can help me out here, by providing a more detailed description of your weight loss problems.

If you suspect that you have any serious disease, we might be able to solve your issues rapidly.

A great many number of things cause abnormal weight loss, ranging from heart problems to cancer to HIV/AIDS.

In virtually all cases of weight loss, almost all real causes are very easily corrected and cured.

Please inform me of the details of your case.

Regards,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
