What is the success rate of a kidney transplant with a child?

My friend's son is suffering from a kidney disorder and the doctors have suggested a kidney transplant in his case. While the family is discussing the chances of success, I would like a second opinion on this. What is the success rate of a kidney transplant with a child?

A transplant is surely a better option. As long as family will ensure that they give him his medications in a timely manner after the transplant. The child will have a better quality of life after the transplant.
A kidney transplant is going to affect his development. You should take your kid to visit a doctor of Chinese medicine.
Success rate is pretty good. I will say it has been >90 percent success rate for more than 1 year kidney survival. I recommend that he should go for that.
