Could a natural hormone speed up blood recovery after heart surgery?

NCT ID NCT05384054

Summary

This study aimed to understand if a hormone called erythroferron helps patients recover from low blood counts (anemia) after heart valve surgery. Researchers measured this hormone and blood levels in 150 patients having elective surgery. The goal was to see if higher hormone levels were linked to faster recovery of hemoglobin, a key component of blood.
