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.
Industry Reviews
?This is one of the best reviews of transplantation I have
had the pleasure of reading. With its thorough collection of topics
and its illustrations, it is a definite must read for those who are
starting their training or spending a limited amount of time on a
transplant service.? (Doody?s, 19 April
2013)
This is a superbly produced small book with marvellous
illustrations, and I am literally amazed how much information is
presented in approximately 100 pages. The illustrations have been
very carefully done and enhance the explanations in the text
extremely well. The chapters range from a history of
transplantation through organ donation and preservation; the
immunology of organ transplantation; immunosuppression;
complications of immunosuppression, and kidney, pancreas, liver,
intestinal, and lung transplantations, finishing up with brief
reviews of composite tissue transplantation and
xenotransplantation.
This is the ideal book to give to nurses or residents rotating
through a transplantation unit or to scientists working in tissue
typing or microbiology and virology with an interest in
transplantation. Obviously, for those who stay in the field, they
will need more in-depth information from the larger texts, but as a
starter book, I have seen nothing better than this extremely good
presentation. Each transplantation unit should have half a dozen or
so available for those I have referred to above. (Peter J.
