Medical Management Kidney Transplantation

Summary:
This volume offers authoritative, evidence-based guidelines on the full range
of dilemmas in the medical management of kidney transplant recipients before,
during, and after transplantation. Coverage begins with selection of patients
who are candidates for transplantation, care of the patient on the waiting
list, and evaluation of donors. Subsequent chapters address preoperative care
and induction and maintenance of immunosuppression.

An extensive section on post-transplantation care includes chapters on
rejection, recurrent disease, and disorders that frequently result from
transplantation, such as bone disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Also
included are discussions on long-term outcomes of renal transplantation and
psychosocial and ethical issues.
