Book Synopsis Primer on Transplantation by : Doug Norman
Download or read book Primer on Transplantation written by Doug Norman and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2001-10-16 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primer on Transplantation Second Edition is an important reference for individuals, students, fellows, faculty and practitioners with an interest in the transplantation of life-saving organs. This second edition is longer than the first, in order to include new material on transplantation. As in the first edition, this volume contains information about kidney, heart, liver, and lung transplantation to allow students and practitioners to 'see how it's done.' But because there is so much information common to transplant recipients--irregardless of the organ involved--the author has added a new section entitled Medical Complications of Transplantation, which covers topics like heart disease in non-heart transplant patients and liver disease in non-liver transplant patients. This section also has valuable information on bone, eye and skin diseases and reproduction in transplant patients. The remaining [generic] sections of the book include updated information on the immunologic basis of transplantation, tissue typing, pharmacology, and immunosuppressive drugs, as well as a new chapter on understanding, interpreting and conducting transplantation research.

Book Synopsis A Primer on Kidney Transplantation by : Philip J. Cook
Download or read book A Primer on Kidney Transplantation written by Philip J. Cook and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidneys are unique among the solid organs due to the combination of the low risk of living donation, the feasibility of sustaining life on dialysis for several years following kidney failure, and Medicare coverage of dialysis and transplantation for kidney patients. Despite these advantages, thousands of Americans die each year while waiting for a kidney transplant, and the waiting list grows each year. In this kidney transplantation primer, we provide a quantitative description of the kidney shortage and discuss future trends and possible solutions. We demonstrate that the current system provides only about half as many kidneys as are needed for transplantation and the gap cannot be eliminated through an increase in deceased donation alone, because most kidneys from suitable deceased donors are already procured. The prospects for increasing living donations under the current system are also dim. Donations from living kidney donors have declined from their 2003 peak and nearly all living kidney donations are directed by the donor, usually to family members, rendering the current account of living kidney donation as “altruistic” somewhat misleading. For all of these reasons, we believe the time is ripe to reconsider financial incentives for kidney donation. Needless to say, a system that provided financial rewards for living donors could produce unsavory consequences, and would have to be carefully designed and managed. But without such a system, the most likely version of the future is a continuation of unnecessarily high rates of death and disability from kidney failure.

Book Synopsis Clinical Guide to Heart Transplantation by : Jon Kobashigawa
Download or read book Clinical Guide to Heart Transplantation written by Jon Kobashigawa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a concise review of up-to-date concepts and techniques in the discipline of heart transplantation. It is a review and reference for practitioners managing patients with advanced heart disease, including patients with end-stage heart failure, mechanical circulatory support or transplant recipients. Heart failure is a major public health issue, with a prevalence of over 5.8 million in the USA, and over 23 million worldwide, and rising. The lifetime risk of developing heart failure is one in five. Heart failure carries substantial morbidity and mortality, with 5-year mortality that rival those of many cancers. As heart transplantation remains the best treatment option for patients with end stage heart failure, this primer will provide valuable information and management strategies for physicians caring for these patients. Also, due to continued shortage in donor organs, heart transplantation is a limited resource – which further underscores the importance of appropriately evaluating patients for transplant candidacy and managing their pre, peri- and post-transplant care for maximum benefit and best outcomes.

This book was released on 2010-04-26 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidney Transplantation: A Guide to the Care of Transplant Recipients is an easy to read, up to date, clinical resource written by experts in the field of kidney transplantation. The book explains how donors and recipients are selected for transplantation, how the surgical procedure is performed, and how the experts recognize and treat rejection. Clearly illustrated chapters show how the immune system works in the setting of transplantation and how immunosuppressive medications prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney; knowledge essential for the proper care of the transplant recipient. The acute and long-term care of the patient is described from the perspective not only of proper immunosuppressive medication management, but also from the perspective of comorbidities most common to transplanted patients, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, infectious diseases, malignancies, and bone disease. Special issues that impact the care of the transplant recipient, such as unusual donor sources, nonadherence and insurability are also addressed.
