Yes, a thorough investigation should be done , if there is significant weight loss you must govgor a endoscopic biospy and histopathological examination of a gastric lesions if there it is. Otherwise you should check for a autoimmune disorder and exclude by an antibidy megetive test result. ESR and CRP must be done to check of presence or aaaabsent of a Chronic Infection .
