Inclusion Criteria:Inclusion Criteria To be eligible to participate in this study, candidates must meet the following elegibility criteria. Currently, at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, up to 10 highly sensitized patients would meet the following inclusion criteria. * Participant Inclusion Criteria * Sensitized (cPRA ≥ 50%) kidney transplant candidates between 18 and 65 years. * Low probability to get a transplant in a kidney exchange program (KEP) from a living donor. * Included in the living donor program, with an accepted potential living donor. * Donor and recipient must meet the eligibility criteria for donation and kidney transplantation respectively at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and the national guidelines. * Presence of donor-specific antibody/crossmatch positive (DSA/FC-XM+) non-HLA identical donor. * at least one DSA with MFI \>3.000. * and DSA MFI \<10.000 (in serum samples diluted 1/64). * and maximum two Class II DSAs. * and maximum 17 points in Jordan RIS Score (DSA 2500-5000: 2 points; DSA MFI 5001-10000: 5 points; DSA MFI \> 10000: 10 points) * Women of childbearing age must take contraceptive measures because Imlifidase is not recommended during pregnancy. * Must have given written informed consent (signed and dated) and any authorizations required by local law and be able to comply with all study requirements. Exclusion Criteria Participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: • Participant Exclusion Criteria 1. Known contraindications for therapy with IVIG, Rituximab, plasma exchange (PLEX) or Imlifidase. 2. Recipients of Deceased Donors (DBD, Extended Criteria Donors (ECD) or DCD). 3.
