Transplant International Official Journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation

The best presentations from the 5th ESOT Congress are combined in this book to update the state of the art of organ transplantation. The major part of the book concentrates on clinical kidney transplantation, but every other organ that currently can be transplanted is also addressed. Useful information on new immuno-suppressive drugs like FK 506, RS-61443 and the new monoclonals is included. The new approach in liver transplantation of segments of the liver (split-liver) is covered in several articles. Lung transplantation, a new development, is extensively discussed. The basic sciences are represented by sections of experimental immunology and experimental immunosuppression.
