Abstract

Abstract: Involuntary weight loss（IWL） is a common outpatient complaint in general practice. As IWL is an undifferentiated disease，the sufferers often seek treatment in multiple departments but could not obtain organized and standardized management，which wastes substantial healthcare resources，impairs patient health-seeking experience，and brings a lot of inconveniences to the patient's life. We reviewed the literature on IWL，discussed its diagnosis and treatment from a general practice perspective，hoping to help general practitioners with standardized diagnosis and treatment and continued management of IWL.

Key words: Emaciation, General practice, General practitioners, Diagnosis and treatment ideas

摘要： 消瘦是全科医学门诊一种常见的患者主诉。作为一种可能与多学科相关的未分化疾病，消瘦患者常徘徊于各个科室之间，并且不能得到有序规范的管理，一方面浪费了大量的医疗资源，另一方面也给患者诊疗体验及生活带来了诸多不便。本文通过对国内外相关文献的回顾，从全科医生的视角，对消瘦的诊疗思路进行论述，以期能帮助全科医生了解如何对消瘦患者进行规范的诊治和连续性管理。
