Cachexia is loss of body mass. It is a general ill-health and emaciation. It can be due to tuberculosis (यक्ष्मा). But it itself is not यक्ष्मा.
Other Hindi words for 'Cachexia' can be दु:स्वस्थता, दु:स्वास्थ्य, क्षीणता.
अपक्षय also seems to convey the meaning of 'wasting away' (although it is not suggested by the dictionaries I searched, see list given below):

Cachexia is atrophy. It is much more that weakness.
