Pathologists are increasingly being called upon to participate in the follow-up and long-term of patients who have undergone surgery for organ replacement. This text provides the general pathologist with concise information on post-transplantation complications across the entire range of organs now transplanted. It outlines the features of organ rejection and infection and the effects of immunosuppressive treatments. Coverage includes background on the pathology of various transplanted organs (kidney, heart, lung, liver, pancreas, skin, bone marrow, gut, thymus, and cornea) and artificial implants. The place of needle aspiration in the diagnosis of graft-versus-host disease is thoroughly considered. Chapters are extensively referenced to provide a comprehensive guide to the literature on organ transplantation.
