A member asked:

How exactly are kidneys matched to the best recipient?

Genetics: We all are born with different genes that express different proteins on our tissues. The best chance for a kidney transplant recipient is to get a kidney carrying proteins that are identical to the ones carried by the body ( identical twin donor) the next best thing is to get a kidney from a donor who has a lot of similarity with the recipient genetically to prevent rejection.
