For all organ transplants (except corneas, which I don't know about), blood group must be compatible and body size must be appropriate. Gender is not matched (the benfit of matching this is marginal, and is outweighed by the additional waiting time required to match this), nor is ethnicity (however some blood groups are more common in some ethnicity's, so it's sort of self-matching). Kidney's require 'tissue matching' along with all of the above.
