The period of hospitalization 2–7 days – 173 (41.8%). In addition, 76 cases of no traumatic hemorrhages in the brain and under the matter of the brain caused by diseases were studied, the age was more than 60 years – 41 (53.9%) prevailed. In 29 cases, internal organs were taken for transplantation.

Among donors, the prevalence of men 27 (93%) over women 2 (7%) in the 31–60 age group is 19 (65.5%). 17 were diagnosed with brain death (58.6%) and 12 asystolic donors (41.4%). Multiorgan removal was carried out in 13 cases (44.8%), in 15 cases kidneys were removal (51.7%), 1 case of refusal of the removal after visual inspection of the extracted organ.Conclusion. The Analysis allows to estimation a possible pool of potential donors in the Moscow region, to correlate with the volume of removal organs, which indicates insufficient efficiency of their use. Insufficiently active participation of medical institutions of Administrations of transplantological coordination in the territory of the Moscow region correlates with participation of medico legal experts in this coordination. In the conclusions of the experts found no evidence of traumatic damage to the organ and the obstruction of the expert when giving answers to the questions of the investigatory organizations.
