This study tests whether giving iron through a vein can help older adults walk better after hip fracture surgery. It is for people who have anemia (low red blood cells) after their operation.
This trial tests whether giving iron after a non–life-threatening stomach or bowel bleed can help rebuild blood levels and prevent problems related to iron deficiency. You would need to be stable after the bleeding is treated and meet specific blood and health criteria.
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.
This study looks at whether giving iron to hospitalized patients with anemia and inflammation can help. It tracks how well the body responds to iron when both low red blood cells and inflammation are present.
This study tests whether intravenous (IV) iron therapy can help older adults who have heart failure with preserved pumping function and low iron levels. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests whether giving iron through a vein can improve quality of life in older adults who recently had a heart attack or unstable angina and also have low iron levels. If you qualify, you would receive either iron or a placebo (inactive substance) to see if iron helps you feel better and recover faster.
