• Cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥55% ;
• Renal function: eGFR≥30ML/min/1.73m2； (For patients with an eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or those receiving renal replacement therapy, inclusion or exclusion in the study is determined at the discretion of the investigators. )
• Liver function: Asparagus cochinchinensis transase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)≤3.0 ULN, Total Bilirubin (TBIL) in serum ≤2.0×ULN;
• Lung function: No serious lung lesions, SpO2≥92%;
• Negative pregnancy test for female Subjects of childbearing age, agree to take effective contraceptive measures the first year after CAR-NK infusion;

• >50% decline in eGFR within 3 months;
