Description
Here is a comprehensive text on liver transplantation, edited by two respected leaders in the field. It presents important information on technical refinements, immunosuppression agents, new molecular biology techniques, and cellular transplantation. Sections focus on patient evaluation of both children and adults, immunology of liver transplantation, the operation, unusual operative problems, liver transplant pathology, immunosuppression, survival and results, and the impact of transplantation on health care.
