Medical Complications of Kidney Transplantation

This book will follow in the path of our previous successful books on kidney transplantation, this time looking at the medical problems that can arise after the operation itself is over. All the major subspecialties can be involved in these complications, so their practitioners need to be aware of the implications that transplantation and immunosuppression can hold for their patients.There were 1836 kidney transplant operations performed in the UK in 2004, and there are now 30 000 patients with a transplanted kidney or on dialysis (and so possibly facing the operation), so this is a major (and increasing) problem.No comparable text exists, and the eminence of the editor will ensure a good reception for the book itself.Ponticelli, Claudio is the author of 'Medical Complications of Kidney Transplantation ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415417150 and ISBN 0415417155.
