Clinical focus

Dyt. Güneş provides dietary assessment and nutrition planning for people whose medical condition affects, or is affected by, what they eat. In iron deficiency nutrition, she reviews dietary intake and advises on food choices that may support iron status alongside the care provided by the treating physician. In coeliac disease nutrition, she helps patients understand and follow a gluten-free diet while keeping their overall intake balanced. For pregnancy nutrition, she offers guidance on dietary needs during pregnancy in coordination with the patient’s obstetric care.

Her practice also covers child and adolescent weight management, where nutrition plans are adapted to a young patient’s growth, daily routine and family setting. For adults, she works on gout nutrition, which typically involves reviewing dietary factors that can influence uric acid levels, and on cardiovascular disease nutrition, which addresses eating patterns relevant to heart and vascular health. In each area, dietary advice is intended to complement, not replace, the medical treatment prescribed by the patient’s doctors, and plans are adjusted over time according to the patient’s progress and clinical findings.

How Dyt. Renan Güneş works with international patients

Dyt. Güneş consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, such as laboratory results, imaging reports, previous dietary plans and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical and dietary assessment, and a discussion of the nutrition options that may be suitable. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up of an existing nutrition plan.
