Yes. ABO incompatibility leads to rapid rejection
You may remember the outrage when a liver transplant with an ABO incompatibility was done. Major compatibility is a must: ABO and rH factor, with as many of the minor compatibility factors as possible.

Matching blood types are not nearly as critical when donating a kidney compared to a liver donation. Comedian George Lopez's wife donated him one of her kidneys and they were not related by blood.
