Synopsis

Using a case report format this work deals with the wide range of problems encountered in vigorous transplant practice. The distinctive features of this book include issues that encompass a wide range of transplantation types, including heart, lung, kidney, liver and bone marrow transplantation. Equally unique is the inclusion of issues that involve the ethics of transplantation, the psychology of transplantation, and the practice of infectious disease as it applies to transplantation coupled to the usual concerns of immunobiology, immunosuppression, and the management and diagnosis of rejection.

About this title

From the Author

purpose
Professor Helderman and I edited and wrote this book to reflect the contributions that a multiorgan transplant center, which uniquely brought together a broad range of specialists in the field of transplantation under a single roof, was making to the evolving field of human organ and tissue transplantation. Our approach was to assemble ethicists, infectious disease specialists, social workers, clinicians and researchers together to address the challenging issues of this relatively new field. We hope you enjoy this work and find it a valuable addition to our understanding of this life-saving and life-enhancing field.
