What Could Be The Reason Of Loosing Weight Without Any Symptoms?

she keeps losing weight, the hematologist told my niece that there was no reason for her to have being sent to her because the blood count is normal ( a little arrogant) without checking other test results, thyroid test normal according to her Pediatrician, after more test are done if everything is negative a spinal tab is next, colonoscopy negative, ultra sound is next. Should she be seen by an Oncologist? we are desperate for answers.

Dear friend .. i appreciate your concern.. there are many reasons .. hyperthyroidism, anorexia nervosa, malnutrition/stress/ chronic infections like TB/etc.. but please remember that weight loss is not only the symptom to worry this much. please allow the person to lead a normal life .. take care of the diet .. if the weight loss is too fast even with all these then you can work it up in detail...
