About The Johns Hopkins Pediatric Liver Center
The Johns Hopkins Pediatric Liver Center is the only pediatric liver transplant center in the state of Maryland. In addition, the Center manages the care of international patients.
Johns Hopkins has very good overall survival rates for transplants. We are the fifth largest center in the nation for living donor transplant surgery. Our capabilities have been established for children well under 5 pounds with complicated medical backgrounds. Johns Hopkins is one of the few institutions that offers infant as well as adolescent living donation.
Our institution offers a center of excellence in liver disease. Some of the areas that our team specializes in are biliary atresia, hepatoblastoma, hepatocelluar carcinoma, progressive sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis. Johns Hopkins is one of 12 NIH-funded centers in the United States to do studies of neonatal liver disease.
