EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
Lifelong care of the liver transplant recipient is essential to optimal long-term outcomes, and the University of Minnesota's multidisciplinary approach to patient care has been a significant factor in the success of their transplant program. This book outlines the university's protocols for patient care, beginning prior to the time of first referral and continuing through the rest of the patient's post-operative life. Highly recommended for primary care physicians; hepatologists; nurses and care coordinators; dietitians; and other allied health professionals.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 3.0 based on 1 review)

Good concise overview, but needs to be updated. by Gaurav Arora (California) 3 Stars
February 17, 2007
This is a good small pocket book written by a Liver Transplant surgeon from Univ. of Minnesota. It is easy read and you can quickly go through the whole book in 2-3 days. It is good for getting a good overview of the issues surrounding liver transplantation, especially if you are doing a rotation on a transplant team. The downside, however, is that a significant amount of information is outdated and a lot of new information is not there. I therefore, recommend using this book for only an initial general outline and using other books such as Killenberg's "medical care of the liver transplant patient" for further reading. Other sources for most recent information would be Uptodate, recent journal articles as well as society guidelines.
