One of the underlining principles is that a patient can only be defined as "suitable for transplantation" if they have at least a 50% probability of still being alive in 5 years after the transplant. This is the bare minimum for any type of transplant.

Kidney transplants are one of the safest transplants there are. This is primarily because your original kidneys are not (usually) removed - it is simply a case of the third one being added in. This means that should the transplanted kidney not work for some reason, you should not be any worse off than you were originally whilst waiting for the transplant. Another advantage is dialysis - it's quite an effective "replacement" for a kidney, so unlike most other transplants you're not quite stuck in the scenario of gradually getting more and more ill - instead, there is some stability.

Without actually knowing more about your medical scenario, it would be inappropriate to try and pinpoint an exact probability of your chances of survival. However, if a person were to choose what type of transplant to have, having a kidney transplant whilst you're still young is one of the safest options out of all those available.

What are the chances that failed kidneys will recover enough to stop dialysis?

The chances of failed kidneys recovering enough to stop dialysis depend on the underlying cause of kidney failure and the extent of damage to the kidneys. In some cases, acute kidney injury may improve with treatment, allowing the kidneys to recover and resume functioning. However, in chronic kidney disease, the chances of complete recovery are lower, and long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant may be needed.
