From the reviews:
"This is an easy to read, up-to-date review of important challenges faced by practicing transplant professionals caring for HCV-infected patients. The authors do an excellent job covering a range of topics in a practical fashion. ... The audience includes transplant surgeons, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and transplant coordinators ... . I would also highly recommend this book to transplant hepatology fellows as it summarizes both classic and contemporary data supporting patient management decisions. ... It is a welcome addition to my library." (Jeffrey Lowell, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2014)
