Authoritative and highly illustrated in full color, this comprehensive resource is the result of a joint effort of four experienced senior clinicians and educators. It focuses on the medical aspects of transplantation, offers an oasis of knowledge on key topics for clinical practice and examination, and discusses the newest developments in the field, including NASH and hepatitis. Key point boxes, a signs and symptoms index, and practice points make this text a must have reference for clinical practice and an ideal resource for board review for certification or recertification.
