All
Age
25 Years to 65 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age 25–65 years, male or female. 2. Confirmed diagnosis of chronic kidney disease stage 5, dependent on regular renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis). 1.or almost unable to obtain a matched human donor kidney due to high sensitization (high population reactivity antibodies), impending loss of dialysis access, or failure of a previous transplant due to relapse of the primary disease; 3. Completion of routine evaluation for allogeneic kidney transplantation, with confirmation by the study's multidisciplinary assessment team that, within the foreseeable future, there is no realistic access to a human donor kidney, or, even if theoretically eligible for waiting, the feasibility of conventional allogeneic kidney transplantation is extremely low due to factors such as high sensitization, repeated transplant failure, or impending loss of dialysis access. 4. Cardiac, hepatic, pulmonary, and other vital organ functions assessed as sufficient to tolerate the transplant surgery and intensive postoperative monitoring. 5. Possesses full civil capacity, is able to understand the nature of the study, potential benefits and risks, long-term follow-up requirements, and public health management requirements, and can independently sign the written informed consent form. In accordance with ethical review requirements, a close relative may participate in the informed consent process and sign as a witness. 6. Willing to comply with postoperative long-term and even lifelong follow-up requirements, and consents to undergo the relevant infection surveillance and health management requirements for both the subject and, where necessary, close contacts. 7. Body mass index (BMI) 18–34 kg/m^2. 8.Completion of the pre-transplant infection prevention evaluation specified in this study; for recommended vaccines, vaccination has been completed or, as assessed by the study team, can be completed (including catch-up vaccination) within the specified time window without affecting study implementation. 9.For subjects of reproductive potential, they have received reproductive risk counseling and agree to use reliable contraception during the period specified in the study. Gamete cryopreservation may be recommended but is not a prerequisite for enrollment.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Organ dysfunction: presence of severe multi-organ failure (e.g., heart, liver, or lung); 2. Active infection: active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection; 3. Uncontrolled malignant tumor; 4. Current pregnancy; 5. Hypercoagulable state; 6. Inability to receive blood transfusion; 7. Intolerance to immunosuppressive therapy; 8. Untreated psychiatric disorder; 9. Current illegal drug abuse and/or alcohol abuse.
