In the next step, all variables were tested for any changes from “start” to “mid”, “mid” to “end”, or “start to end”, and those tending to have a significant trend of changing at least p < 0.1 were identified.

Importantly, baseline IL-6 concentrations were comparable across all the groups; however, intradialytic trajectories of IL-6 differed markedly, showing a decreasing trend in GLSw, stability in GLSs, and a progressive increase in GLSi.
In contrast, LVEDVI showed a trend toward normalization in the GLSs subgroup and fully normalized in the GLSi subgroup.
