King’s College Hospital
and paediatric liver transplants than any other centre in the United Kingdom. In 2014 the transplant team performed 228 transplants. A pioneer in liver transplantation since 1966,
the Liver Transplant Centre uses state of the art technology and leading medical and surgical interventions to provide individualised, ongoing care for adult and paediatric patients with liver disease. Our Liver Transplant Programme provides complete treatment, transplant and management options for patients with acute or chronic liver disease as well as patients with liver cancer. Patients at King’s receive integrated,
comprehensive care beginning with a careful assessment and evaluation to ensure that transplantation is the patient’s best treatment option. For international patients, King’s offers a ‘living donor’ liver transplantation programme and the donors and recipients are carefully assessed to ensure the best outcomes for both the patient and the donor.
Antiviral treatments The King’s viral hepatitis service is one of the largest specialist treatment centres for the condition in the UK. We offer high quality, state-of-art treatment for viral hepatitis B and C patients as well as those also infected (co-infected) with hepatitis D (HDV) and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). King’s is involved in several on-going studies
evaluating the safety and efficacy of various antiviral treatment regimens for chronic Hepatitis B and C, and has already introduced new drug treatments.
Neurosciences The neurologists, together with their neurosurgical colleagues, provide a complete service for patients with a number of neurological conditions. Every year, we see over 20,000 patients with diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. These include epilepsy, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, as well as rarer conditions like Huntingdon’s. Neurosurgeons at King’s have continued to push
the boundaries and challenge established ways of doing things. In January 2009 King’s Consultant Neurosurgeon, Mr Richard Selway, teamed up with neurological experts at Guy’s and St Thomas’ to perform deep brain stimulation surgery on a five-year- old boy weighing just 12.6 kilogrammes. The patient was fitted with a rechargeable state-of-the-art implant to stimulate his brain – something never done before in the UK – that helped him deal with symptoms associated with dystonia, a movement disorder.
Blood cancers King’s is one of the world’s leading centres for the treatment of leukaemia and is the only centre in Europe to have clinical and research expertise in all the main disease areas, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myleoid leukaemia (AML), aplastic anaemia (AA) and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). King’s also runs the UK’s largest bone marrow transplant service with over 150 transplants taking place last year.
