The CLTR2011 annual scientific reports released national statistics describing current status of liver transplant (LT)in China. This article, as an accompanying document of CLTR 2011 annual scientific report, provides anoverview of scientific results for LT in China. Up to December 2011, a total number of 20,877 LT performedduring 1980-2011 in 81 certified transplant centers had been reported to CLTR. Of these donated livers,92.63% were procured from deceased donors (N=19,338) and 7.37% were from living donors (N=1,539). InMarch 2010, the pilot project of the new deceased organ donation was initiated. From the initiation of thepilot program to the end of 2011, there were 115 LT (0.55% of all LT) using the liver grafts from Chinesecategories donors.
