Clinical Nutrition Services

Clinical nutrition is the study of the relationship between food and a healthy body. Besides studying how food works in the body, nutritionists are interested in how the environment affects the safety and quality of foods, and what influences these factors have on health and disease. At University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital, we have registered dietitians who see patients in our clinics as well as in the hospital. The pediatric clinical nutrition team works with you and other health care providers to make sure your child receives proper nutrition at home. We create nutrition plans that address your child's condition.

Among the conditions we treat are:
  • Cancer
  • Growth and weight issues
  • Cardiac (heart) abnormalities          
  • Pediatric obesity
  • Celiac disease
  • Phenylketonuria and other metabolic disorders
  • Crohn's disease
  • Prematurity
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Renal (kidney) disease – peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis
  • Diabetes
  • Short-bowel syndrome
  • Food allergies
