clinicalmetabolic
Clinicalmetabolic is an integrated approach that applies metabolic science to patient care. Although not a formally codified specialty, it describes how clinicians combine metabolic phenotyping with clinical assessment to diagnose and treat disease, monitor treatment response, and guide personalized interventions. The field draws on laboratory testing, metabolomics, imaging, and nutrition science to interpret how metabolic pathways influence health.
Practices include metabolic panels (electrolytes, glucose, kidney and liver function), targeted assays for amino acids, organic
Clinicalmetabolic applications span inborn errors of metabolism diagnosed in pediatrics and adults, diabetes and obesity management,
Setting and training typically occur in hospital-based clinical laboratories, metabolic clinics, endocrinology services, and nutrition programs.
