Customer Reviews: Awesome!November 16, 2006 Redeemed1976(Los Angeles, CA USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am a nephrologist-in-training in Los Angeles. During our renal transplant months, this is the only book I carry around.
It has everything a nephrology fellow needs to know about transplant: including transplant selection, periop and postop complications, types and treatment of rejection, all the information you need regarding immunosuppressive medications, and concise what-to-do-on-call information for fellows taking care of post-op renal transplant patients. I found that I never needed to look in another book during my transplant month.
What an awesome book!
An efficient overview of the kidney transplant processMay 24, 2000 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
From options for treatment of end-stage renal disease to transplantation and post-operative management, this very complete and efficient overview offers new learners adequate information as well as a handy reference to renal transplant clinicians. This book was an invaluable study reference for my professional certification. The information reflects current UNOS policy regarding HLA tissue matching and cadaveric kidney distribution for transplantation. A must!
