Overview

Liver and hepatology

We specialise in the care and management of patients with disorders of the:

  • liver
  • biliary tract (includes gallbladder and bile ducts)
  • pancreas

Our service assesses people so they can get the treatment or support they need.

Treatment can involve medicine or having a procedure.

Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight and avoiding alcohol, can also stop your condition from getting worse. We can help you find support with this.

Our team includes:

  • consultant hepatologists (liver doctors)
  • specialist nurses
  • pharmacists

We work with other teams, including:

  • alcohol care team, for patients with alcohol problems
  • obesity services, for patients with fatty liver

We refer patients who need more specialised treatment or a liver transplant to King's College Hospital liver transplant centre.
