The text reviews the problems faced during each stage of the kidney transplantation process, including the occurrence of infections during the pre-transplant stage, surgical challenges during the actual transplantation, and medication issues during the post-transplant stage. The book also features high-yield case presentations of typical pediatric transplant scenarios, from the pre-transplant management of a child with CAKUT to the evaluation and treatment of antibody mediated rejection in children. Written by experts in the field, Challenges in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation: A Practical Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians, practitioners, and trainees who manage or are interested in this challenging group of patients.

To provide a more cohesive approach to the teaching of pediatric transplantation in various subspecialties, the council of IPTA has initiated the compilation of this book. In organizing the structure of the text, the Editors have recognized that there is a central core of information that is common to all clinical transplantation. Grouped together in the first two sections of the book, this core is intended to provide information about the immune system, rejection and tolerance, immunosuppressives and infection. Organ specific sections are structured in common format designed to cover transplantation, while maintaining the unique needs of the organ specialty.
