Metabolism

This page has been translated automatically.

Even though inborn errors of metabolism are rare, many patients suffer from them due to the large number of different diseases. The diseases can take very different clinical courses. The interdisciplinary metabolic team is therefore involved in the diagnostic work-up of patients with a wide range of symptoms and works closely with other specialists. A core competence is the care of patients suffering from diet-related diseases by specially trained nutritionists.

Patient care is provided in close cooperation with the Metabolism Department at the Children's Hospital Zurich.
