Medical Complications of Kidney Transplantation

Apr 142013

With color illustrations throughout, this book analyzes the implications that transplantation and immunosuppression can hold for patients. Discussing the many complications that may occur after kidney transplantation, this source is a must for anyone caring for patients recovering from this type of procedure.

The book is elegant in design, with easy-to-read print and generous use of well laid out graphs, figures, and color illustrations. Especially useful are the numerous clear histopathology micrographs, which are placed proximal to their attendant text (although a few referenced arrows that were not present). Complex treatment algorithms are elucidated throughout the book with flow charts-an excellent feature.

This book provides an important addition to the armamentarium of renal transplantation. It is an extremely useful reference-good for all who participate in the care of renal transplant recipients. Indeed, considering the global reach of the complications of immunosuppression and renal dysfunction, it should be valuable for all involved in the transplantation of any organ.

Apr 062013

Most Helpful Customer Review

Very useful manual (vademecum) with every possible drug used for transplantation, prophylaxis and in case of complications.

Book Description

The field of transplantation continues to evolve. In the years since the first publication of the Transplantation Drug Pocket Reference Guide, the therapeutic armamentarium for transplantation has grown. The introduction of new agents continues to enhance our ability to improve the short- and long-term success of transplantation.

The fifth edition of the guide, now entitled Transplantation Drug Manual, includes information on agents approved for use in transplant recipients. As in previous editions, we compiled practical information on the wide array of pharmaceutical agents currently available–both those used for immunosuppression and those used to minimize posttransplant complications. The agents described here are the most frequently prescribed drugs in the Transplant Service at the University of Wisconsin. We hope you find this information to be useful and practical in managing the transplant patient.

Review
From the reviews: “… an excellent academic review of up-to-date knowledge about stone disease.” (L.M. Nyberg, New England Journal of Medicine, April 2008) “The 694 pages of ‘Urinary stone disease’ do cover all aspects of the problem. … For residents in urology the reading allows to get acquainted quickly and thoroughly to knowledge he will need to build on during his urological career.” (A. Verbaeys, Acta Chirurgica Belgica, December, 2007) “This book is involved in more than just the surgical management of stones … . I found each chapter presented in a way that was rapidly accessible and complete, giving an up-to-date description of each condition that leads to stone formation and possible methods of medical management. I think that the editors are to be congratulated on presenting an excellent book, with an excellent list of authors, all experts in their respective fields. … excellent book to established urologists as well as urologists-in-training.” (John Fitzpatrick, British Journal of Urology International, Vol. 101, 2008)

This practical guide is a compendium of contemporary views on the development, treatment, and prevention of urinary stone disease. Emphasis is placed on utilizing current research to highlight areas of potential discovery and inspire novel approaches to easing the burden of urinary stone disease.

I love this book! Had to teach F & E and Acid-Base after a couple of years away from it–and this book really solidified my knowledge. Author nails the key points, gives great examples, and helped me teach the concepts to my students far better than did the textbook we were using.

Topics in Renal Biopsy and Pathology (2012)

Nephrology, Pathology No Responses »

Apr 052012

There is no dearth of high-quality books on renal biopsy and pathology in the market. These are either single author or multi-author books, written by world authorities in their respective areas, mostly from the developed world. The vast scholarly potential of authors in the developing countries remains underutilized. Most of the books share the classical monotony of the topics or subjects covered in the book. The current book is a unique adventure in that it bears a truly international outlook and incorporates a variety of topics, which make the book a very interesting project. The authors of the present book hail not only from the developed world, but also many developing countries. The authors belong not only to US but also to Europe as well as to Pakistan and Japan. The scientific content of the book is equally varied, spanning the spectrum of technical issues of biopsy procurement, to pathological examination, to individual disease entities, renal graft pathology, pathophysiology of renal disorders, to practice guidelines

Mar 182012

Chronic kidney disease is an increasing health and economical problem in our world. Obesity and diabetes mellitus, the two most common cause of CKD, are becoming epidemic in our societies. Education on healthy lifestyle and diet is becoming more and more important for reducing the number of type 2 diabetics and patients with hypertension. Education of our patients is also crucial for successful maintenance therapy. There are, however, certain other factors leading to CKD, for instance the genetic predisposition in the case of polycystic kidney disease or type 1 diabetes, where education alone is not enough.

Nephrology in 30 Days (30 Days Series)

A concise review of the core principles and clinical entities associated with nephrology at the point of care.

4 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW

“This is an absolutely wonderful book and excellent for medical students, physician assistants, and trainees in all the medical disciplines. It differs from other handbooks or concise manuals by providing more detailed coverage of the fundamental pathophysiology and basic science behind each disorder, which facilitates understanding. The leading questions, highlighting key points in a colorful manner, the numerous figures and algorithms, and the easy-to-read style make this book rather unique. Although the width of the pages is wider than the usual handbooks and does not make this book a true “pocket” book, the larger font and the addition of all the tables and figures make it much easier to read. I highly recommend this book to students and trainees rotating on the nephrology service.”–Doody’s Review Service

4 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW!

“In the Harrison’s tradition, this book integrates pathophysiology with clinical management while outlining discoveries in genetics and molecular biology. It includes some important chapters that are not found in similar books: one on adaptation of the kidney to renal injury (including factors and mechanisms of renal disease progression) and one on hyperuricemia and gout. The introductory chapter on the basic biology of the kidney, covering renal development, function, and physiology, is very well written. This book meets the expected Harrison’s standards and reading it is a satisfying experience.”–Doody’s Review Service

Dialysis Access: Current Practice

Nephrology, Urology, Vascular Surgery No Responses »

Aug 222011

The incidence of treated end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to rise, particularly in the western world. Although renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for ESRD, the decline in the number of cadaveric organs, coupled with the rising demand for transplantation, means that an increasing number of patients will have to depend on dialysis. Vascular or peritoneal access is the Achilles’ heel of any dialysis service. This book offers a clear description of the state of the art in providing and perserving a durable and reliable access. It also points the way to dialysis in the 21st century. The contributing authors are drawn from a wide background, with expertise in various aspects of dialysis access, including its history, the technique of placement, anaesthesia, radiology, nursing care and training of vascular access surgeons. There is currently a dearth of books on the subject of dialysis access. The few existing books on vascular access were written in the United States, with none from the UK. This volume is intended for use by transplant surgeons, general surgeons with an interest in vascular access, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, trainees and nurses. Dialysis services are expanding worldwide and this book is a valuable guide for those involved in daily patient care and organization of dialysis services
