Kidney Transplantation: A Guide to the Care of Transplant Recipients is an easy to read, up to date, clinical resource written by experts in the field of kidney transplantation. The book explains how donors and recipients are selected for transplantation, how the surgical procedure is performed, and how the experts recognize and treat rejection. Clearly illustrated chapters show how the immune system works in the setting of transplantation and how immunosuppressive medications prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney; knowledge essential for the proper care of the transplant recipient. The acute and long-term care of the patient is described from the perspective not only of proper immunosuppressive medication management, but also from the perspective of comorbidities most common to transplanted patients, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, infectious diseases, malignancies, and bone disease. Special issues that impact the care of the transplant recipient, such as unusual donor sources, nonadherence and insurability are also addressed.

Not what i expected

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book hoping to understand in full details the update on kidney transplantation.
I was in practice for 5 years. This book did not add much information to my knowledge except for some discrete points which really did not worth the money i paid.
I was not as helpful as i expected.

Excellent transplant primer

I purchased this book for use in my clinical practice. I enjoyed reading the book. The format was easy to read and made the material accessible. I also have several trainees (from a variety of different disciplines) who work with me and I have received positive feedback from them about the book as well. My only complaint is that this book is for kidney transplant and there do not appear to be similarly formatted books for transplants in other organ systems. If the authors/publishers are seeing this, please consider writing a similar book for liver and bone marrow transplant as well.
