Application Detail

Description of Medical Service

Imlifidase is a treatment used to prevent the body from rejecting a newly transplanted kidney. It is used before transplantation in people who have antibodies against the donor kidney and are considered ’highly sensitised’ based on a positive crossmatch test. It is a desensitisation treatment, used to convert people from crossmatch positive, to negative and therefore reducing the likelihood of the recipient's body rejecting the donated kidney.

Description of Medical Condition

End-stage kidney disease is defined by partial or completely failed kidney function. Patients require regular dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.
