Challenges and Controversies in Kidney Transplantation highlights the most up-to-date strategies for successfully managing high-risk kidney transplant recipients, as well as detailed, innovative strategies to increase transplant opportunities for patients requiring kidney transplantation. The book is divided into two major sections; firstly, Maximizing Transplant Opportunities, and second, Considerations for Unique/High Risk Patient Populations focusing on management of select patient populations, such as children, the elderly, HIV, Hepatitis C positive patents, highly sensitized patients, and patients who develop post-transplant polyomavirus nephropathy. Surgical topics include Laparoendoscopic Single Site and Robotic Donor Nephrectomy as minimally invasive surgical procedures to increase living donation, and the use of Paediatric Donor Kidneys in deceased donor kidney transplantation. In addition, Challenges and Controversies in Kidney Transplantation also features discussion on the most difficult clinical management issues confronting Kidney Transplantation today, making it a relevant and essential reference for nephrologists, neurologists and residents.

Nolph and Gokal's Text Book of Peritoneal Dialysis, Third Edition, covers advances made in the field for the past 30 years. During the past two decades, the time during which this therapy has been increasingly utilized, this text has continued to be recognized as the major source of the discipline's base knowledge. The evolution of this text to its newest edition parallels the growth of peritoneal dialysis from Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis in the eighties to the current therapy that encompasses manual and automated therapies with full emphasis on adequacy of dialysis dose. Peritoneal dialysis represents an intracorporeal technique for blood purification. This unique dialysis system represents one of many human attempts to manipulate nature for sustenance of life. The past few years of advances have focused on further improvement of the technique. Areas that have fueled the interest of researchers include: (1) Physiology of high transporters (and the role of genetics and inflammation); (2) Continued debate over the most appropriate adequacy indices (small solute clearances, large solute clearances, clinical assessment etc.); (3) Understanding, preventing and treating the MIA syndrome in PD patients ( including the roles of leptin, and adiponectin); (4) Pathogenesis and newer management strategies of vascular calcification; (5) Continued improvements in infectious complications including peritonitis; (6) Further improvements in catheter technology; (7) Automated techniques; (8) Explaining and correcting PD underutilization; (9) Rationale and applications of newer dialysis solutions; (10) New understanding and approaches to management of osteodystrophy; (11) Refinements in anemia management including new insights in iron metabolism in PD patients; (12) Further definition of indications for PD; (13) The ideal time to initiate dialysis. Newer insight into host defense mechanisms have also made the past decade of advances in the field more meaningful for clinicians. This text also covers the knowledge gained from animal models of peritoneal dialysis. Nolph and Gokal's Textbook of Peritoneal Dialysis, Third Edition is a compilation of the latest knowledge in the field. It cites and describes in great detail, the new discoveries and the evolution of understanding the subject of these discoveries.
