| has gloss | eng: Cachexia (, from Greek kakos and hexia: bad condition ) is loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness and significant loss of appetite in someone who is not actively trying to lose weight. The formal definition of cachexia is the loss of body mass that cannot be reversed nutritionally; even if you supplement the patient calorically, lean body mass will be lost, indicating there is a fundamental pathology in place. Cachexia is seen in patients with cancer, AIDS, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), CHF (congestive heart failure) and Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy. It is a positive risk factor for death—meaning if the patient has cachexia, the chance of death from the underlying condition is increased dramatically. It can be a sign of various underlying disorders; when a patient presents with cachexia, a doctor will generally consider the possibility of cancer, metabolic acidosis (from decreased protein synthesis and increased protein catabolism), certain infectious diseases (e.g. |

| has gloss | fra: La cachexie est un affaiblissement profond de l’organisme (perte de poids, atrophie musculaire, etc.), lié à une dénutrition très importante. La cachexie nest pas une maladie en elle-même, mais le symptôme dune autre. Elle peut provenir dune anorexie (même chez une personne dont la perte de poids nest pas volontaire), d'un cancer (cachexie cancéreuse, produite par des substances secrétées par la tumeur, les cachexines), de maladies chroniques ( BPCO, insuffisance cardiaque, insuffisance hépatique, insuffisance rénale), voire de certaines maladies infectieuses (par exemple la tuberculose et le SIDA, ou certaines maladies auto-immunes). |

| has gloss | ita: La cachessia è una grave forma di deperimento organico, caratterizzata da progressivo deterioramento di tutte le funzioni metaboliche, con debolezza, anoressia e dimagramento, con escavazione dei tratti somatici (facies cachettica). Tale quadro può essere dovuto ad anoressia nervosa, malattie endocrine (per esempio cachessia pituitaria), a tumori maligni e a demenza. La cachessia nel tumore è un processo passivo, dovuto allazione depauperante del tumore nei confronti di proteine, lipidi, glucidi, purine, ma anche un processo attivo dovuto ad alcune sostanze anche di origine tumorale (per esempio TNF, tumor necrosis factor). Il TNF non è prodotto solo in presenza di tumori ma anche nelle normali infiammazioni dovute a infezioni batteriche o insulti di tipo fisico o chimico. La classica inappetenza nelle comuni malattie come linfluenza dipende proprio dallinfiammazione in corso. La cachessia può anche essere dovuta allassunzione di anfetamine. |
