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

Dr Rothkopf founded the Metabolic Medicine Center at Morristown Medical Center and is the current Metabolic Medicine Consultant for the Heart Transplant, Lung Transplant, Cardiac Surgery and Wound Care Programs at RWJBH/Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

Reviews for Optimizing Metabolic Status for the Hospitalized Patient: The Role of Macro- and Micronutrition on Disease Management

The book reviews the foundations of nutritional medicine, the role of physician nutrition specialists, and details of the unique assessments one can offer in this capacity. The book serves as a guide for using traditional tools (e.g., the history and physical exam, laboratory data combined with other datapoints such as indirect calorimetry) to arrive at a complete nutritional assessment. The structure of this book is that it can be read cover to cover incorporating a comprehensive way of assessing patients and a few exemplary cases. Jessica Hwang, MD, Cook County Health
