In addition to organ-specific chapters (kidney, pancreas, heart, lung and liver), this book includes generic chapters that should be of interest to all readers, irrespective of their organ-specific speciality. These include chapters on immunibiology, pharmacology, donor management, infectious complications, pediatric transplantation, and general principles of patient management. New features of this edition include clinical vignettes, "key point" boxes to emphasize major teaching points, and self-assesment multiple choice questions for each chapter"--Provided by publisher.
