About the Book The Handbook of renal transplantation in developing countries, part of the Oxford clinical practice Series, is a comprehensive handbook for neurologists, physicians, transplant surgeons, nephrology trainees and dieticians as well as medical students. Developing countries with limited resources face innumerable challenges in providing kidney transplantation to those with chronic kidney diseases. There is an absolute shortage of transplantable organs in developing countries, despite the availability of technical Skills. However, institutions providing both live and deceased donor transplantation are steadily increasing in number. Yet, there is a critical gap in the knowledge on the selection process, clinical assessment, immunology workup, transplant surgery, immunosuppressive therapy, and diagnosis of allograft dysfunction and infections. This book attempts to bridge this gap by assimilating and organizing relevant information, pairing the science of transplantation with clinical practice from doctors and specialists in their respective fields.
