Biomarkers in Kidney Transplantation: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination provides a focused study on traditional and emerging biomarkers to predict early rejection of kidney transplants supporting appropriate therapeutic interventions. Coverage includes predictive and diagnostic biomarkers for different types of rejections, including biomarkers of acute, chronic/sub chronic rejection or clinical rejection, T-cell mediated rejection, antibody mediated rejection and mixed rejection. Comparisons are provided for broad classification of pharmacokinetic versus pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and differentiation is shown between the susceptibility, diagnostic, predictive, prognostic and monitoring biomarkers.Coverage of the analytical aspects of biomarker measurement, the process of biomarker discovery and their clinical validation addresses both the clinical features of biomarkers as well as the pitfalls of determining such biomarkers in clinical laboratories. By combining all current markers known for kidney transplant in one collection, this easy-to-use reference is perfect for pathologists, clinical pharmacologists, clinical laboratory scientists and all physicians involved in organ transplantation, including immunologists and transplant surgeons.

Small Lungs and Obstructed Airways: Reassessing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease proposes an alternative perspective to current explanations for the distribution of chronic lung disease. The book considers the link between chronic respiratory disease and associated mortality with smaller lungs rather than obstructed airways and explores other factors contributing to poor lung health besides the current emphasis on the roles of air pollution, occupational exposures, and cardio-metabolic disease. It presents the findings of the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study, sharing new views on the prevalence of obstructive lung disease and risk factors across various global regions. Sections cover decreased lung function, including the prevalent views on the impact of both household and external air pollution, occupational exposure, and the prenatal and postnatal/childhood environment in the etiology of impaired lung function and COPD. The book then moves on to discussions on the impact poverty and nutrition has on lung health, sharing the findings of the BOLD study regarding its effect on lung function and risk of COPD in lower-income countries. The book closes with a chapter outlining the clinical and public health implications of the findings discussed in the book.
