Cachexia is a "wasting" disorder that causes extreme weight loss and muscle wasting, including the loss of body fat and muscle mass. Cachexia often affects patients that are in the later stage of serious conditions and diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, COPD, chronic kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and congestive heart failure (CHF), among others. Those suffering from cachexia can become so weak and frail that their body can become more susceptible to infections, increasing the likelihood of death as a result of their condition.
