With updates from cover to cover, this core reference delivers the practical guidance you need to achieve optimal outcomes in both adults and children.

​

New to this edition

​

New chapter on xenotransplantation. This area is under active clinical investigation now and it seems likely to move forward in the next few years.

New chapter on future developments, including cell therapies (this could possibly be merged with the xenotranplantation chapter).

New chapter on defining metrics of success following transplantation.

New chapter on COVID in renal transplantation.

Added discussion of normothermic regional perfusion to the discussion of DCD organ donation and ethics of transplantation (this is a new and evolving approach to organ donation).

Expanded biomarkers section to include information on iBox (The first universal algorithm for predicting the risk of kidney transplant loss).

Modified History chapter

Additional intraoperative video clips (about 10-15 new)

New authorship for select chapters
