Kidney Transplantation: Principles and Practice, 9th ed. by Stuart J. Knechtle; Lorna P. Marson, 2026 Professors Lorna P. Marson and Stuart J. Knechtle, at the request of Peter Morris, have served as editors for the eighth and ninth editions and Knechtle since the sixth edition. Professor Morris encouraged us to choose associate editors for the ninth edition, one from the United Kingdom and one from the United States. It was always his vision to have a balance between the US- and the larger English-speaking world. Therefore Drs. Jayme Locke and Rommel Ravanan have joined our editorial leadership as associate editors, adding to the rich perspectives of the textbook. In keeping with the tradition of previous editions to address new knowledge, we have added chapters on xenotransplantation and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, given the wealth of new information in these areas that deserve full discussion. All chapters have been updated with new references and content. While we miss Professor Morris’s thoughtful input, we have sought to continue his goal of driving clinical practice improvements in transplantation based on objective data and ethical considerations. Given the diverse cultures in which organ transplantation is practiced, we have included discussion of a variety of approaches to organ allocation and donor selection with the understanding that values vary between countries and cultures, but the commitment to preserving the dignity and freedom of choice of organ donors and their families remains foundational. We anticipate that this ninth edition of the textbook founded by Professor Peter Morris will inspire further innovation and improvements that benefit patient care.

Kidney Transplantation in Sensitized Patients by Duck Jong Han, 2020 This book presents state of the art knowledge on all aspects of kidney transplantation in recipients in whom desensitization strategies are necessary in order to overcome immunologic barriers such as anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibody and ABO blood group incompatibility. Readers will find detailed, up-to-date information on the various immunomodulating therapies that may be employed in these circumstances and the outcomes that may be expected. Full guidance is provided on preoperative evaluation and management and post-transplantation care. In addition, the pathology of antibody-mediated rejection and acute cellular rejection in this context is discussed.
