Specialized care for children with metabolic conditions

Our Pediatric Inherited Metabolic Medicine clinic At Al Jalila Children’s Hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for newborns, children, and adolescents with metabolic conditions. We understand that your child’s metabolic condition is unique, and our team works closely with you and your family to ensure that your child receives the best possible care.

 

Metabolism is your body’s ongoing chemical reaction to turn food into energy. If your child has an inherited metabolic disorder, these processes can be disrupted due to missing or deficient enzymes. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating many metabolic conditions which can range from mild to potentially life-threatening.

 

We provide thorough evaluations to identify the specific metabolic condition your child may have, allowing us to tailor treatments to their individual needs. Our team is committed to making sure your child lives as healthy and fulfilling a life as possible, and working hand-in-hand with you throughout the entire care journey.
