More than 90 thousand blood donations in Japan were rejected in 2021, accounting for approximately 1.8 percent of all blood donations in that year. The most frequent reason for the rejection were high levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) in the blood. The irregular amount of ALT in the blood normally indicates liver diseases.
The collection and supply of blood for use in transfusion in Japan are operated only by the Japanese Red Cross Society.
