Organ transplantation in Japan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Organ transplantation in Japan Organ transplantation in Japan is regulated by the 1997 Organ Transplant Law which legalized organ procurement from "brain dead" donors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Japan Organ Transplant Network Organ Transplanting in Japan )〕 After an early involvement in organ transplantation that was on a par with developments in the rest of the world, attitudes in Japan altered after a transplant by Dr. Wada in 1968 failed, and a subsequent ban on cadaveric organ donation lasted thirty years. The first transplant after the Organ Transplant Law had defined "brain death" took place in February 1999. Due to cultural reasons and a relative distrust of modern medicine, the rate of organ donation in Japan is significantly lower than in Western countries. ==History== The first organ transplant in Japan took place at Niigata University in 1956 when a kidney was temporarily transplanted to a patient with acute renal failure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SpringerLink - Journal Article )〕 In 1964 a permanent and full-scale kidney transplant was successfully undertaken at the University of Tokyo, and by 1992 nearly 9,000 kidney transplants had taken place. In the same year, a liver transplant was performed at Chiba University by Professor Komei Nakayama.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Asia -- de Villa and Lo 12 (11): 1321 -- The Oncologist )〕 The first heart transplant in Japan was conducted at Sapporo Medical University in 1968 by Dr Wada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Organ Transplantation and Brain-Death in Japan. )〕 This operation attracted concerns that Dr. Wada's evaluation of brain death was inappropriate, and even though an investigation of possible criminal liability was dismissed, a distrust of organ transplanting developed, particularly of transplants from brain dead donors. This brought subsequent developments in transplanting to a halt.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Japan Organ Transplant Network The History of Transplanting )〕
