Kidney Transplants are the most frequently performed solid organ transplants. Pancreas transplantation offers unique survival and quality of life benefits to selected diabetics with or without concomitant renal failure. Usually, kidney and pancreas transplant recipients are managed by the same team of physicians and surgeons. Current textbooks dealing with kidney and pancreas transplantation are unfortunately usually in the form of introductory manuals or primers and lack crucial practical detail and scientific depth relevant to the practicing physician. The transplant physicians and surgeons at Cleveland Clinic have collaborated to produce a textbook devoted to kidney and pancreas transplantation that addresses the need for a work that is well grounded in scientific principles, quantitative clinical reasoning, clinical pharmacology, tested clinical practices and overall clinical applicability. Also addressed are key aspects in the initiation, maintenance and sustained growth of viable clinical programs in kidney and pancreas transplantation.

The transplant physicians and surgeons at Cleveland Clinic have collaborated to produce, Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation: A Practical Guide. This volume is devoted to kidney and pancreas transplantation and is well grounded in scientific principles, quantitative clinical reasoning, clinical pharmacology, tested clinical practices and overall clinical applicability. Also addressed are key aspects in the initiation, maintenance and sustained growth of viable clinical programs in kidney and pancreas transplantation. Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation: A Practical Guide will be of great value to transplant physicians as well as medical and surgical fellows who intend to pursue an interest in transplantation.
