Effect of anemia before liver surgery on recovery
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at how having anemia (low red blood cells) before your liver surgery might affect your recovery. If you are having a planned liver resection, this research may help doctors better understand and manage your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned (elective) liver resection surgery.
- Your overall health is classified as ASA I, II, or III (which means you are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues).
- You are not a living donor (i.e., you are not donating part of your liver for transplant).

This study looks at how different levels and types of anemia (low red blood cells) before planned surgery affect your recovery. If you have anemia and are having a moderate- to high-risk surgery (not brain or heart), you may be able to join to help doctors learn how to better prepare patients for surgery.
This study looks at whether having low red blood cells (anemia) before cancer surgery is linked to a higher risk of dying after the surgery. It helps doctors understand if anemia is a warning sign for patients having curative cancer surgery.
This trial looks at whether following a hospital guideline to treat anemia before surgery helps patients have better pre-op care. You may be eligible if you have anemia found during a pre-anesthesia clinic visit.
This trial studies a program to manage blood levels before, during, and after heart surgery. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions and improve recovery.
This study looks at how common anemia is after weight loss surgery. It follows people who have sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass to see if they develop anemia.
This study looks at how to detect and treat pre-surgery anemia (low hemoglobin/low blood level) in people having planned operations where blood transfusion is likely. Some participants may also use a machine that collects and returns their own blood during surgery to reduce the need for donor blood.
