Pathology of Solid Organ Transplantation cover

Because of the progress in diagnostic transplantation pathology interpretation of transplant biopsies is increasingly becoming an attractive field for general surgical pathologists. The book focuses on the pathology of transplantation in the following organs: kidney, liver, lungs, heart, pancreas and small intestine. An introductory section addresses common entities that may complicate all transplant recipients such as infections, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease and graft versus host disease, followed by 6 sections with detailed manifestations of rejection in each organ. This comprehensive, well-illustrated book serves the needs and meets the requirements of pathologists in training and those practicing in centers with limited volume of transplant biopsies in daily practice.

From the reviews:

“It is intended as a complete resource of transplantation pathology for solid organs. … this book is geared toward practicing pathologists who encounter transplant and post-transplant specimens. Transplant surgeons and transplant fellows in hepatology, nephrology, and cardiology also will find this book a useful resource. … Thoroughly referenced, logically organized, and beautifully illustrated, this book is as practically useful as it is enjoyable to read. Physicians involved in organ transplantation would not be disappointed by the addition of this book to their library.” (Maura F. O’Neil, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2
