Transplantation procedures are currently performed using more than 25 different organs and tissues, with first-year graft survival rates often exceeding 80 percent. Transplantation can be used to treat illnesses such as kidney failure, diabetes, heart and liver disease, and leukemia, all of which would almost invariably result in death without medical intervention. This Sourcebook provides health information about solid organ and tissue transplantation in the United States. Readers will learn about preparations and procedures for specific transplants, including financial issues, medications, and rehabilitation. Organ and tissue donation needs and requirements, essential information about pediatric transplants, a glossary, and listings of transplant centers, organ procurement organizations, and support groups are also included.

This review is from: Transplantation Sourcebook (Library Binding)
Transplant procedures are currently performed using over 25 different organs and tissues. The Transplantation Sourcebook gathers the latest information on solid organ and tissue transplantation, from the preparations and procedures themselves to financial and rehabilitation concerns. Another fine basic reference which provides important keys to understanding.
