Diagnosis of anorexia nervosa begins with a medical history and physical exam. The healthcare provider may order tests to check the person's health status, including:

  • abdominal X-ray to look for digestive tract problems
  • blood tests, such as a CBC
  • chest X-ray to check for heart problems or lung infection
  • an ECG, to check for heart problems
  • urinalysis, to check for dehydration and infection
