- Contains up-to-date outcomes data and analysis of the evidence supporting current practice in the field
- Includes new chapters on xenotransplantation and COVID-19 in renal transplantation
- Adds new information on normothermic regional perfusion to the discussion of DCD organ donation and ethics of transplantation, and new information on iBox (the first universal algorithm for predicting the risk of kidney transplant loss) to the biomarkers section
- Provides relevant, up-to-date information on kidney transplant for all members of the transplant team, with practical information on applied science, clinical information, and surgical procedures
- Features intraoperative videos and hundreds of superb illustrations to help readers visualize key concepts and nuances of renal transplantation

Title Reviews
"...covers a broad range of topics relevant to kidney transplantation in a single, hardcover volume that includes 43 chapters and is just over 800 pages....this series has intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to the field of kidney transplantation. This book continues to fulfill that goal, with comprehensive discussions of all the basic aspects of transplant medicine..... offers a general overview of a broad range of topics and will be useful to anyone caring for transplant patients, especially those without dedicated training in the field such as students, hospitalists, primary care providers, or general nephrologists and surgeons. The broad nature of the topics covered means sacrificing some in-depth discussions, making this more suited for general practitioners than transplant nephrologists or surgeons. The chapters included here are uniformly well-written and include an abundance of useful references and illustrations.... Overall, the flow of chapters within the textbook is logical, and there are no obvious topics overlooked — an excellent, essential resource."
