The first basic overview of all aspects of transplantation
with a clarity not to be found in more inaccessible
textbooks.
This brand new title provides a succinct overview of both the
scientific and clinical principles of organ transplantation and the
types of organ transplant, featuring highly-illustrated information
covering core topics in transplantation including:
* Organ donors
* Organ preservation
* Assessment of transplant recipients
* Indications for transplantation
* Immunology of transplantation
* Immunosuppression and its complications
* Overviews of thoracic and abdominal organ transplantation,
including the kidneys, liver, heart and lungs
Transplantation at a Glance is the ideal
introduction for medical students, junior doctors, surgical
trainees, immunology students, pharmacists, and nurses on
transplant wards.
