For a 21-year-old male with underweight, the goal is to rule out medical causes before labeling it as simple nutritional deficiency. A focused, cost-effective workup is best.
? Initial Basic Tests
CBC (Complete Blood Count) → anemia, infection
ESR / CRP → chronic inflammation, infection (e.g., TB)
RBS / Fasting glucose / HbA1c → rule out Diabetes Mellitus
LFTs (Liver Function Tests) → chronic liver disease
RFTs (Renal Function Tests) → kidney disease
Urine R/E → infection, protein loss
? Infectious Screening (important in our region)
Screening for Tuberculosis (CXR + sputum if symptoms like cough, fever, night sweats)
Stool R/E → parasites, malabsorption
? Endocrine Evaluation
TSH, Free T4 → rule out Hyperthyroidism
?️ Malabsorption / Nutritional Causes
Serum albumin, total protein
Vitamin B12, Vitamin D levels
Consider screening for Celiac Disease if chronic diarrhea, bloating
? Other Considerations
Screen for depression, anxiety, eating disorders
Dietary history (calorie intake, appetite)
Substance use (smoking, drugs)
