Liposomal vs Regular Oral Iron After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of oral iron supplements for people who have iron deficiency anemia after a sleeve gastrectomy. It aims to find which type is more effective at raising iron levels.

This study tests whether giving iron supplements after sleeve gastrectomy surgery helps prevent or treat anemia. It may be a good fit if you are planning to have this weight-loss surgery and can commit to 6 months of follow-up.
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 compares two types of iron given through a vein to treat anemia (low red blood cells) after surgery for stomach cancer. It aims to find which treatment is more effective at improving your blood count and energy levels.
This trial tests if a newer type of iron pill (sucrosomial iron) works as well as intravenous (IV) iron to raise low red blood cell levels before heart surgery. If you have mild anemia from low iron, this study may help improve your blood count before your procedure.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.
This trial tests whether giving an intravenous iron supplement (ferric derisomaltose) can help prevent anemia and improve quality of life in obese patients who have low iron stores. It aims to see if this treatment can boost energy and reduce fatigue.
