Allan D. Kirk & Stuart J. Knechtle 
Textbook of Organ Transplantation Set [EPUB ebook] 

Brought to you by the world’s leading transplant
clinicians, Textbook of Organ Transplantation provides a
complete and comprehensive overview of modern transplantation in
all its complexity, from basic science to gold-standard surgical
techniques to post-operative care, and from likely outcomes to
considerations for transplant program administration, bioethics and
health policy.

Beautifully produced in full color throughout, and with over 600
high-quality illustrations, it successfully:

* Provides a solid overview of what transplant
clinicians/surgeons do, and with topics presented in an order that
a clinician will encounter them.

* Presents a holistic look at transplantation, foregrounding the
interrelationships between transplant team members and non-surgical
clinicians in the subspecialties relevant to pre- and
post-operative patient care, such as gastroenterology, nephrology,
and cardiology.

* Offers a focused look at pediatric transplantation, and
identifies the ways in which it significantly differs from
transplantation in adults.

* Includes coverage of essential non-clinical topics such as
transplant program management and administration; research design
and data collection; transplant policy and bioethical issues.

Textbook of Organ Transplantation is the market-leading
and definitive transplantation reference work, and essential
reading for all transplant surgeons, transplant clinicians, program
administrators, basic and clinical investigators and any other
members of the transplantation team responsible for the clinical
management or scientific study of transplant patients.
