Best Answer

The severity of the case and the other present symptoms make each case of cachexia different, but if a person begins exhibiting signs of cachexia, the chances of death increase dramatically. Cachexia means that a patient is losing weight without trying, and the lost weight cannot be replaced calorically. When this begins to appear in a patient, it is not a very good sign.
