"...[provides] a well-organised, up-to-date and comprehensive review of current entities routinely encountered in transplant pathology. The book is divided into 11 sections, with the first 3 sections providing an excellent overview of immunology, as it relates to transplant medicine, human leukocyte antigen testing and immunosuppressive drugs.... Each entity is discussed in a well-structured, straightforward and concise manner, with information presented in a bullet point format. There are very helpful tables included with relevant up-to-date classifications and scoring systems. As with all the Diagnostic Pathology textbooks, there are excellent, high-quality colour images for each topic. Each image also comes with detailed annotations of salient features.... Overall, I find this textbook to be well written, with excellent images and helpful hints throughout. At £189.99 it isn’t cheap, but, given that the text is comprehensive, up-to-date and provides a helpful basis on which to fully work up a transplant-related specimen, I feel it offers good value for money." Review by Dr Louisa Miller, ST3 Histopathology Registrar, Northern Ireland, The Bulletin (Royal College of Pathologists), October 2025"This book is an offering in the Diagnostic Pathology series and provides a concise overview of organ transplant pathology. It draws on the knowledge of 20 experts to provide the latest updates in this rapidly changing field. The previous edition was published in 2018." ©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Camille Cassiopeia Van Neste, MD, PhD (University of Michigan Medical School), Doody’s Review: 95 - 4 Stars!
