Effect modification occurs when the impact of the treatment on an outcome varies based on the levels of other covariates known as effect modifiers. Modeling these effect differences is important for etiological goals and for purposes of optimizing treatment. Structural nested mean models (SNMMs) are useful causal models for estimating the potentially heterogeneous effect of a time-varying exposure on the mean of an outcome in the presence of time-varying confounding.

In Germany, around 80000 people are currently dependent on permanent renal replacement therapy (RRT). Due to demographic developments and improvements in life expectancy, the prevalence will continue to increase even if the effects of newer pharmacological substances such as SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists are promising in inhibiting progression. There are basically three different methods of renal replacement therapy and their variants: Kidney transplantation (KTX), peritoneal dialysis (PD), hemodialysis (HD)/hemodiafiltration (HDF).

Background: Continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) is used in critically ill patients, but its impact on O₂ and CO₂ removal, as well as the accuracy of resting energy expenditure (REE) measurement using indirect calorimetry (IC) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effects of CVVHDF on O₂ and CO₂ removal and the accuracy of REE measurement using IC in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.
Design: Prospective, observational, single-center study.

Background: Results from the CONVINCE clinical trial suggest a 23% mortality risk reduction among patients receiving high-volume (> 23 L) hemodiafiltration. We assessed the real-world effectiveness of blood-based kidney replacement therapy (KRT) with hemodiafiltration vs. hemodialysis in a large, unselected patient population treated prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of artificial intermittent infusion hemodiafiltration (I-HDF) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with intradialytic hypotension (IDH), and to determine the optimal infusion dosage.
Methods: This single-center, prospective, self-controlled study included 30 MHD patients with IDH, treated from December 2022 to July 2023. Patients underwent three sessions of I-HDF as treatment group and conventional hemodialysis as control group.
