Hi and thanks for the query,
The health condition of the candidate needs to be good, so he does not suffer much when his kidney is re moved. the major histocompatibility complex group (genetics) of the candidate must be similar to that of the donor in order to reduce rejection rates, common in transplants.Kind regards
