This practical guide is grounded in tested clinical practices and overall clinical applicability. It also addresses key aspects in the initiation, maintenance and sustained growth of viable clinical programs in kidney and pancreas transplantation.

Kidney transplants are the most frequently performed solid organ transplants. Pancreas transplantation
offers unique survival and quality of life benefits to selected diabetics with or without concomitant
renal failure. The growing trend in the transplant community is that patients with kidney and pancreas
transplants are cared for by a multidisciplinary team led by transplant surgeons and physicians. The
complexity of clinical transplantation is further compounded by the competitive and regulatory landscape
that transplant programs have to operate in. Given this scenario, the knowledge base that is
required of the transplant physicians and surgeon encompasses not only medical aspects of patient care
but also a sound grasp of issues related to the administration of programs and monitoring finance and
outcomes.
We offer a textbook devoted to kidney and pancreas transplantation that is well grounded in
scientific principles, quantitative clinical reasoning, clinical pharmacology, tested clinical practices
and overall clinical applicability. Also addressed are key aspects in the initiation, maintenance and
sustained growth of viable clinical programs in kidney and pancreas transplantation. The intended
audience includes medical and surgical fellows who intend to pursue an interest in transplantation
and the practicing transplant physician.
The editors acknowledge the valuable contributions of the authors and the inspiration provided by
their fellows and trainees.
