'''Hypermetabolism''' is a [[medical condition]] characterized by an abnormally increased [[metabolism]]. It is often associated with conditions such as [[cancer]], [[burns]], [[sepsis]], and certain [[endocrine disorders]].

== Causes ==

Hypermetabolism can be caused by various conditions and diseases. Some of the most common causes include:

* [[Cancer]]: Certain types of cancer can cause the body to burn more calories, leading to hypermetabolism.
* [[Burns]]: Severe burns can increase the body's metabolic rate as it works to heal the damaged tissue.
* [[Sepsis]]: This severe infection can cause the body to increase its metabolic rate in an attempt to fight off the infection.
* [[Endocrine disorders]]: Conditions such as [[hyperthyroidism]] can cause the body to produce too much thyroid hormone, which can increase the metabolic rate.

== Symptoms ==

The symptoms of hypermetabolism can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, common symptoms can include:

* [[Weight loss]]
* Increased [[heart rate]]
* Increased [[body temperature]]
* Increased [[appetite]]
* [[Fatigue]]
* [[Insomnia]]

== Diagnosis ==

Diagnosis of hypermetabolism typically involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. Additional tests may be ordered to determine the underlying cause, such as blood tests to check for endocrine disorders or imaging tests to check for cancer.

== Treatment ==

Treatment for hypermetabolism typically involves addressing the underlying cause. This may involve medication to manage endocrine disorders, treatment for infections, or therapies to manage cancer.
