Handbook of Renal and Pancreatic Transplantation

This book is designed to fill the need for a contemporary
handbook for the practice of renal and pancreatic transplantation that
is focussed on a European rather than North American approach.
There are significant differences in transplant practice internationally and
there is a need for a practical guide to application of the current evidence
base.
