Kidney (renal) transplantation is the treatment of choice for most patients wtih end-stage renal disease. It is associated wtih better quality of life, allowing for more freedom, and less lifestyle restrictions than dialysis. The shortage of organ donors, however, remains a major obstacle to successful, early transplantation. This shortage has actually worsened despite an increase in living family-related and unrelated donors. On the other hand, over the last 10 years, allograft and recipient survival have significantly improved. This encouraging outcome reflects many factors, particularly a favorable shift in the balance between efficacy and toxicity of immunosuppressive drugs. There are several older and more recent immunosuppressive agents used in clinical practice, all with their own unique tolerability and side effect profiles, necessitating proper patient selection, as well as monitoring and management of side effects, while promoting optimal organ function and patient quality of life.  Oxford American Pocket Notes: Renal Transplantation aims to offer an ultra-concise, portable, evidence-based resource on the management of the pre- and post-transplant patient. The volume contains discussion on expanding living donor initiatives, pharmacological management in post-transplant patients (including extensive information on side-effects management of anti-rejection drugs, as well as proper patient selection for each agent) and key insights into medical issues affecting transplant patients.

Hypertension (chronically elevated arterial blood pressure) is one of the most common disorders worldwide. In the U.S., hypertension affects 1 in 4, or upwards of 50 million adults with only 70% being aware of their diagnosis. Hypertension is tightly linked with cardiovascular risk and fatal outcomes. One of the dangers of hypertension is its asymptomatic nature, as untreated hypertension can result in increased cardiac output, heart volume, and damage to arteries and vessel walls. This succint pocket volume aims to provide primary care practitioners and other healthcare professionals with essential, evidence-based guidance on the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Written by noted experts in the field, with a foreword by the former president of the American Society of Hypertension, this volume is focused on providing key insights into choosing the appropriate treatment regimen for each patient, as well as direction on proper patient monitoring for safety and effectiveness of various interventions. To that end, the volume features numerous tools, such as forms, charts, graphs, and algorithms to assist the busy clinician in providing the best care for their patients with hypertension.
