Abstract:
China is one of the minority countries which have not passed through the law ot brain death in the world. After efforts of decades, the liver transplantation in China have got great achievements, however, owing to unimplementation of the law of brain death, the main source of grafts was the donor of cardiac death which resulted in the bad quality of grafts and poor curative effect after liver transplantation compared with the international advanced level. The implementation of the law of brain death will promote the improvement of liver transplantation level in China greatly.
