Medical Care of the Liver Transplant Patient Summary

Medical Care of the Liver Transplant Patient: Total Pre-, Intra- and Post-Operative Management by Paul G Killenberg (Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA)

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.

Medical Care of the Liver Transplant Patient Reviews

The book is well written, easy to read and full of valuable references. [...] It is a valuable aid for both transplant and non-transplant hepatologists and for surgeons. [...] It is one of the few books combining all the relevant clinical aspects of the continuously growing knowledge on liver transplantation, a special setting where the coexistence of multidisciplinary competences and skills is critical to allow optimal results. Digestive and Liver Disease, October 2006

This textbook facilitates the integration process by providing an excellent resource for non-transplant physician who care for patients with liver disease pre or post transplantation. [...] The chapters provide a handy reference for the management of most problems encountered by transplant patients following the immediate post operative period. from review in Hepatology on first edition
