Kidney's are usually transplanted from a family member who is a match as you only need one.

(blood type etc. is taken into consideration)

Why are there not enough transplants for the number of people needing transplants?

This is most likely because of the special porcess to match up organs. Also, it has to do with the age people die. You can't donate a senior's organs. Also, the type of death has an influence. If someone dies of cancer, it's unsafe to donate organs. If someone is in a good health and died in a car accident/etc. then their organs might be suitable. The family has to agree on it too.
