Book overview
End-stage kidney disease touches many lives, and many patients turn to kidney transplantation as their treatment of choice. The journey to a successful kidney transplant is long and complicated. Kidney transplant recipients and donors depend on their transplant team's expertise and advice at every stage, but may wish to further empower themselves with additional information. Pamphlets and brochures provide some guidance, while medical textbooks are largely inaccessible. This book attempts to fill the void between these two ends of the information spectrum by speaking to curious and motivated patients, propelling them towards greater success. Almost every kidney transplant-related topic a patient may want to know about is covered in just the right amount of detail.
"Your Kidney Transplant Journey" is a comprehensive yet friendly companion to patients before and after receiving their gift of life. Using a question-and-answer format, the book shares advice honed by thirty years of the author's experience in caring for kidney transplant donors and recipients. Sharing information most often asked about is emphasized along with messages of positivity and encouragement.
