# Kidney Transplant **Scenario:** Someone experiences kidney failure. **Solution:** A healthy kidney is needed from a donor. **Matching:** The donor and recipient need to be a match for the transplant to be successful. Matching means the recipient's bodily immune response will likely accept the new organ. **Importance of Match:** If the match isn't close enough, the recipient's body may reject the new organ by treating it as an invader. A close match is critical for successful transplantation. **Rejection/Rejection Procedure:** Rejection procedures (possibly resection in this case) will be required if the new kidney is not accepted by the recipient's body.
