[UK Board certified Nephrologist ]
General Medical Council no. 4332439
Head of Nephrology and Transplantation

Dr. Mustafa Ahmed is a Consultant Nephrologist who has trained in the UK for the last 20 years. He graduated from Kings College London and trained in nephrology at the Middlesex institute of nephro-urology, the world renowned renal unit attached to the Kings College Hospital and Guys and St Thomas’s  Hospital- one of the largest transplant centers in the UK.

He has varied nephrology interests including a doctorate on ‘nocturnal polyuria’ for which he as won a national award while working with one of the leaders in human clinical pharmacology Sir Patrick Vallance. He is interested in the detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributed to the UK National Service framework.

During his time at Guys hospital he conducted major studies on live related/unrelated transplantation, transplantation across blood group barriers and SPK (simultaneous kidney pancreas transplantation). He has conducted the largest study of ‘transplant tourism’ in London and has since lectured on this at both the European Science Foundation and more recently the British Transplant Society (Belfast 2005).

He has set up one of the first renal palliative care clinics for those unfit or unwilling to receive dialysis in the UK. He also runs specialist clinics in renal diabetes, lupus and sickle cell disease and is currently developing newer dialysis modalities such as home haemodialysis  and nurse free dialysis programmes (dialysis walk in centers) to take nephrology into the 21 century.
