If the Kidney Came from a deceased donor then the kidney from a deceased donor lasts on average around 12 years and if the Kidney came from a Live donor the kidney lasts on average of around 15 years.

Transplanted Kidney's don't last forever so the person might still need dialysis after that time or even a new kidney.
