This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after surgery.
This Phase 3 study compares taking iron through an IV versus by mouth to treat iron-deficiency anemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for improving iron levels and blood counts.
This trial looks at whether a specific iron infusion (ferric derisomaltose) can help treat anemia after spinal deformity surgery. You may be eligible if your blood counts show anemia soon after surgery and it’s likely due to iron deficiency.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements before spinal fusion surgery can help kids with low iron levels. It aims to understand iron deficiency in young people with scoliosis and improve their surgical outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving iron supplements to older patients after a hip fracture helps improve recovery by treating anemia. It aims to see if iron replacement can speed up healing and reduce complications.
