Description and Table of Contents
Description
The fundamental problem of organ transplantation remains rejection and infection. This book, written for clinicians and immunologists, provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the immunology of renal transplantation. This book is divided into three sections, the first covers basic immunology relevant in understanding the mechanisms of rejection and the associated clinical problems. The second section is devoted to experimental transplantation and the final section concentrates on clinical aspects of transplantation immunology.
