a donors kidney should be tissue-typed with that of the patient. the best donor should be a nearest relative. in the tissue typing,
it has been found out that they are 70-80 % tissue type, also a big chance for the donor kidney to be accepted by the patient's
body

So far, kidney transplants are the most successful type of transplantation (compared to heart and liver). Of course it is not without its risks and failures. The recipient and the donor will have to be tested for compatibility. After the transplant, the recipient will have to be on medication for the rest of their lives that will supress the body from rejecting the donor organ. Easier said that done to tell you not to worry but there are a lot of people who have undergone kidney transplants who are living normal lives.

Very!! You'll be tested for compatibility first though with the donor.
I know two folks who have had kidney transplants and they're leading productive lives.
