There is an increased risk of malnutrition associated with chronic diseases, especially disease of the intestinal tract, kidneys, and liver.
Patients with semiconsciousness, persistent diarrhea, jaundice, or low blood sodium levels have a poorer prognosis.
Prognosis for the individual patient depends on the severity of the disease process. Lupus can be fully compatible with a normal lifespan, or can result in fatal organ failure,
a prognosis is the result after treating the disease

The course of each patient's illness is unique but death, usually a result of heart disease or kidney failure, generally occurs within a few years. Amyloidosis associated by multiple myeloma usually has a poor prognosis.
Tricuspid valve insufficiency is not usually considered to be serious. If it is the result of other cardiopulmonary disease, the extent of those conditions effect the prognosis.

The prognosis for correcting hypocalcemia is excellent. However, the eye damage that may result from chronic hypocalcemia cannot be reversed.
severe cases of Legionnaires' disease may cause scarring in the lung tissue as a result of the infection. Renal failure, if it occurs, is reversible and renal function returns as the patient's health improves.

Eating too little is bad. It increases the risk for malnutrition. The result of being malnourished is unhealthy.
Abnormal results can indicate the presence of a variety of conditions--including anemias, leukemias, and infections--sometimes before the patient experiences symptoms of the disease.
