This book is a guide for clinicians seeking to use metabolic approaches in the care of hospitalized patients. Since a nutritional component exists for practically any disease process managed, it is important to properly address the macro- and micronutrient issues that can help facilitate a favourable clinical outcome.

Metabolic medicine is a newly recognized speciality that applies proven nutritional approaches to support hospitalized patients within existing standards of care. Optimizing Metabolic Status for the Hospitalized Patient: The Role of Macro- and Micronutrition on Disease Management addresses the gap of nutrition knowledge among physicians who generally care for patients without addressing the nutritional and metabolic perspective.

Features:

State-of-the-art guidelines for practicing metabolic medicine in the hospital setting
“Hands on” guide for day-to-day metabolic management of hospitalized patients
Personal insights from one of the field’s leading practitioners, drawing upon decades of experience
Historical reviews of key scientific developments
