Transplantation provides all in the multi-disciplinary team who care for transplant patients with a practical reference source incorporating the most current information on recent developments, management issues and operative procedures. The text is thoroughly referenced and supported by evidence-based recommendations wherever possible, distinguishing between strong evidence to support a conclusion, and evidence suggesting that a recommendation can be reached on the balance of probabilities. For this fifth edition the authorship team across the series has been expanded to inclue additional European and World experts, with an increased emphasis on global practice. Throughout all eight volumes the contents have been extensively revised in line with recently published evidence.
