Kidney's require more complex matching than other organs; for kidneys you must match tissue as well as compatible blood type. Kidneys also require higher dosages of immunosuppression than other transplanted organs (they reject easily). Obviously, the transplanted kidney also has to cope with filtering out all the immunosuppression; this puts additional stress on the kidney, which shortens the grafts lifespan.
