After the enforcement in Japan of the amended Act on Organ Transplantation in July 2010, the number of brain-dead donors vastly increased. But the total numbers of the deceased donors for organ transplantation were almost the same in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The percentage of the brain-dead donors increased, but the total numbers of cardiac-arrested donors decreased. Unexpectedly, in 2013, the total number of the deceased donors decreased to 84. The numbers of brain-dead and cardiac-arrested donors were 47 and 37. The organ transplantations from the deceased donors are realized with the efforts of the procurement teams. This is a report on organ procurement from the deceased donors for organ transplantations in Japan in 2013.
