The very fact that there was an indication for kidney transplant previously suggest that his transplanted kidney now failed needs to be replaced again.
However, if you have a donor among your relatives, then the chances of rejection are less and transplanted kidney would function effectively for a longer duration.
Otherwise donor kidney or cadaver kidney is the substitute, but its like taking a chance. Hope all goes well for your brother.
