Solid organ transplantation offers a new chance at life to those
suffering from failing organs. With these successes, however, comes
the everyday management that is required to maintain health. The
field of solid organ transplantation has become a part of medicine
that generalists should be familiar with, as recipients are living
longer and frequently returning to primary care for management.
While specialists will still need to be involved with the care of
solid organ transplant recipients on a life-long basis, many
conditions will still need initial and often ongoing care by
generalists, including infections, metabolic conditions,
psychiatric illnesses, and malignancy. This book focuses on the
care of adult solid organ transplant recipients, and is targeted at
the level of the primary care provider. It begins with an
introduction and overviews of solid organ transplantation and
anti-rejection medications. It then delves into organ-specific
chapters that provide the primary care provider with an overview of
how to take care of patients with the most commonly-transplanted
solid organs: kidney, kidney-pancreas, liver, heart, and lung. The
final section focuses on specific complications that arise from
transplantation including cancer, metabolic conditions, infections,
and common presenting syndromes. Preventative health is also
discussed, and the book concludes with a chapter on palliative
care. Primary Care of the Solid Organ Transplant Recipient is a
unique text that provides the reader with organ and
complication-specific sections that can be independently read as
they relate to the individual physicians and their patients.
Written by experts in the field, this text is a valuable resource
for primary care providers, medical students, residents and anyone
involved in the care of solid organ transplant recipients.
