Overview
This text presents ethical rational, facts, and centre techniques for choosing kidney donors in one volume. It is devoted to preoperative issues for living kidney donor and those who counsel them. The eight chapters are devoted to vital areas that are comprehensively addressed by experienced professionals. The book presents a unified ethical and factual approach that is essential for all transplant centres to understand. It is a readable and understandable ethical foundation for living kidney donation that is free of jargon. It includes balanced, hard to find factual summaries that are essential for acceptable kidney donor counselling. As transplant centers increasingly turn to living kidney donors, this book represents a step forward in the field. The book should appeal to transplant physicians and surgeons, transplant coordinators and social workers, nephrologists who have patients on dialysis or who evaluate potential living kidney donors and to potential living kidney donors and their recipients. The work is a practical application of medical ethics to an important field that is of potential interest to ethicists as well.
