description: Now in its updated Fourth Edition, this popular handbook is a practical guide for physicians and surgeons who manage kidney transplant patients and for nurses and other professionals on the transplant team. In concise, readable, well-illustrated chapters, the book outlines the major concerns surrounding renal transplantation and the most successful approaches to problems arising in short-term and long-term patient care. This edition's chapters on immunobiology and immunosuppression have been completely rewritten to reflect recent advances. Chapters on surgery, histocompatibility, and the first three months post-transplant have also been thoroughly updated.
