Well obviously your kidney has to be failing. but other than that you have to have below 30% function in your kidney. Note: you can survive with only 1 kidney so its more like below 30% function in 1 kidney

When your kidney function is down to 12 -15 % then you will need to do dialysis or have a kidney transplant.

For a transplant the donor's kidney has to be suitable for you. Blood types and tissues types are matched to get as close a match as possible. Some body like a close relative is a good donor.

The donor should have no major health problems and the recipient should have no other major health problems apart from the kidney failure.
