Comparing vitamin C testing approaches in hospitalized patients with bleeding
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether checking all hospitalized patients with bleeding for vitamin C deficiency is better than only checking when a doctor thinks it's needed. It may help find and treat low vitamin C levels more consistently.

This study looks at how the type and severity of sickle cell disease relate to blood clotting. They will take blood samples to understand this better, which may help improve future treatment.
This trial tests whether a newer, faster blood test (viscoelastic testing) can better guide treatment for bleeding after a severe injury compared to standard blood tests. If you are in the emergency room shortly after a serious trauma, this study may help doctors decide the right treatments to stop bleeding more quickly.
This Swiss study looks at people with unexplained bleeding by using a standardized bleeding score and taking a blood sample. It may help researchers better understand possible bleeding causes even when the reason isn’t clear yet.
This study compares two bedside blood tests that help doctors manage bleeding during surgery. If you're having a major surgery with a high risk of heavy bleeding, these tests may help your doctors make faster treatment decisions.
This trial tests whether a vitamin C supplement affects vitamin C levels in healthy adults who have either low or normal levels. You'll take the supplement daily for a month and have blood drawn twice at a lab.
This study looks at how blood clots and platelets behave in people with the two most common types of sickle cell disease (SS and SC). It aims to understand differences that may help manage the disease better.
