3rd Edition
by Paul G Killenberg (Editor), Pierre-Alain Clavien (Editor)
Medical Care of the Liver Transplant Patient looks at monitoring and maintaining the health of organ recipients and donors, pre, during and post-operatively.
There
are twenty-nine chapters containing practical advice on total patient
management. They are arranged into 8 sections and follow the stages of
transplantation from first indication and selection of potential
recipient, through to acute recovery, long-term follow-up and continued
health.
In this edition there are new chapters on special
considerations in liver transplant patients such as viral hepatitis,
alcoholic liver disease and live donor liver transplantation. It also
contains the very latest information concerning complications and
recurring problems after transplantation. Another new chapter considers
fresh approaches and developments in the future.
This is a
vital reference to all members of the medical team involved at different
stages in the care of liver transplantation patients including
hepatologists, gastroenterologists, transplant surgeons, specialist
nurses, and nutritionists.
