Clinical Nutrition

EMC Hospital's Clinical Nutrition Specialists are doctors who specialize in assessing nutritional status, developing nutritional therapy, and assisting patients in the prevention and treatment of various diseases related to diet and metabolism. The clinical nutrition approach is aimed not only at weight loss or gain, but also at supporting treatment, accelerating recovery, preventing complications, and improving the patient's overall quality of life.

Before determining a nutrition program, the EMC Hospital Clinical Nutrition Specialist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation through a medical interview, dietary assessment, nutritional status and body composition measurements, and supporting examinations such as laboratory tests, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, liver function, kidney function, and other metabolic parameters as needed. Based on the evaluation results, the doctor will develop a personalized nutrition plan tailored to each individual's health condition.
