Solid organ transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. Donation after brain death (DBD) is a means of addressing the inadequate supply of acceptable donor organs but has only gradually begun to be accepted in mainland China. A major barrier has been the absence of brain death and organ transplant legislation. This paper describes our initial experience with organ transplantation using organs from brain dead donors and discusses strategies for encouraging organ transplantation and brain death legislation in China. Six patients underwent renal transplantation and two patients underwent liver transplantation with organs procured from three brain dead donors at the Organ Transplantation Center, the 181st Hospital. All patients are alive with excellent graft function. DBD is an important means of increasing the number of organs available for transplantation and its widespread implementation in China should be encouraged. Brain death and organ transplantation legislation is necessary to ensure the rights and obligations of donors, recipients and medical institutions.
器官移植是治疗终末期器官衰竭患者的有效方法。脑死亡后捐献（DBD）是解决可接受供体器官供应不足的一种手段，但在中国内地仅逐渐开始被接受。主要障碍是缺乏脑死亡和器官移植立法。本文描述了我们使用脑死亡供体器官进行器官移植的初步经验，并讨论了在中国鼓励器官移植和脑死亡立法的策略。器官移植中心、181 医院共进行了 6 例肾移植和 2 例肝移植，使用了 3 例脑死亡供者的器官。所有患者均存活，移植物功能良好。DBD 是增加可供移植器官数量的重要手段，应在中国广泛推广。脑死亡和器官移植立法是确保供者、受者和医疗机构权利和义务的必要条件。
