Noun[edit] cachexia â(countable and uncountable, plural cachexias) (medicine, pathology) A systemic wasting of muscle tissue, with or without loss of fat mass, that accompanies a chronic disease.
Cachexia causes weight loss and increased mortality. It affects more than 5 million persons in the United States. Other causes of weight loss include anorexia, sarcopenia, and dehydration. The pathophysiology of cachexia is reviewed in this article. The major cause appears to be cytokine excess. Other potential mediators include testosterone and insulin-like growth factor I deficiency, excess myostatin, and excess glucocorticoids.
