Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics

Nourishing Health. Supporting Recovery. Improving Quality of Life.

The Department of Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics at Kiran Hospital provides comprehensive, evidence-based nutritional care tailored to the individual needs of patients across different age groups and medical conditions.

Our team of qualified clinical dietitians works closely with treating consultants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to assess each patient's nutritional status and develop personalized nutrition plans. Nutritional care is integrated into the patient's overall treatment plan, with a focus on promoting recovery, maintaining optimal nutritional status, managing disease-related nutritional challenges, and improving overall quality of life.

We follow a patient-centered approach that balances clinical nutritional requirements, individual preferences, cultural food habits, palatability, and appropriate portion sizes to ensure that prescribed diets are practical, acceptable, and sustainable.

Body Composition Analysis (BCA)

Beyond the Scale—Understanding Your Body Composition

Body Composition Analysis (BCA) is an additional assessment tool available through the Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics Department to provide a more comprehensive understanding of an individual's body composition.

Depending on the BCA system used, assessment may include:

Body Weight & BMI
Body Fat Percentage & Fat Mass
Skeletal Muscle / Lean Body Mass
Total Body Water
Visceral Fat-related Parameters
Segmental Body Composition
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Role of BCA in Nutrition Care

Establishing an individual baseline body composition profile
Designing personalized nutrition and weight-management programs
Monitoring changes in fat mass and muscle mass
Assessing progress during dietary and lifestyle interventions
Supporting healthy weight-management goals
Providing objective information during nutritional follow-up

BCA findings are interpreted in conjunction with the patient's medical history, dietary assessment, anthropometric measurements, physical activity, and clinical condition. BCA is an assessment tool and does not replace medical evaluation or diagnostic investigations.
