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.
Kidney failure and kidney rejection can still remain after kidney transplant.
