Many pathologists find the interpretation of biopsies and other surgical specimens from solid organ, stem cell and bone marrow transplants challenging. Pathology of Transplantation provides a practical structured and logical approach to the diagnostic interpretation of the range of specimens from patients with solid organ, stem cell and bone marrow transplants, including the assessment of native and donor organs, with emphasis on resolution of pathological and clinico-pathological differential diagnoses including the diverse forms of rejection, recurrent and de novo diseases, drug-induced alterations, infections and other pathologies relevant to the system or tissue. In addition, this provides information on some of the critical clinical consequences of pathological diagnoses and guidelines for interaction and effective communication with transplant clinicians thereby ensuring the best possible care to patients with transplants. Pathology of Transplantation provides a relatively simple but diagnostically comprehensive and practical book that the pathologist will keep on hand and pick up to rapidly find answers in daily practice of transplantation pathology.

"This book comprehensively covers pathology of transplantation in an organ-based approach. ... The book is written for pathologists who interpret biopsies from transplant patients and clinicians who treat these patients. Moreover, pathology residents and transplant pathology fellows will find it very useful. ... The book is written in a relatively simple, systematic, and easy to follow manner. I recommend this book for personal and departmental libraries." (Anamarija M. Perry, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2017)
