In biology, "polyphagia" is a type of phagy, referring to an animal that feeds on many kinds of food.

Polyphagia or hyperphagia refers to excessive hunger or increased appetite.^[1] It derives from the Greek words πολύς (polys) which means "very much", and φαγῶ (phago) meaning "eat".

In medicine[edit]

In medicine, polyphagia (sometimes known as hyperphagia) is a medical sign meaning excessive hunger and abnormally large intake of solids by mouth. Disorders such as diabetes, Kleine-Levin Syndrome (a malfunction in the hypothalamus), the genetic disorders Prader-Willi Syndrome and Bardet Biedl Syndrome can cause hyperphagia (compulsive hunger).^[2]

Causes[edit]

Causes of increased appetite include:^[3]

Anxiety
Certain drugs
Diabetes mellitus
Hyperthyroidism
Hypoglycemia
[[Hunger Just after meals
Premenstrual syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome
Bulimia
Graves' disease

Diabetic ketoacidosis[edit]

Polyphagia usually occurs early in the course of diabetic ketoacidosis.^[4] However, once insulin deficiency becomes more severe and ketoacidosis develops, appetite is suppressed.^[5]
