Protein levels may predict anemia recovery after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT05384054
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 150 adults who had heart valve surgery to see if a protein called erythroferron is linked to changes in hemoglobin levels after surgery. Hemoglobin is important for carrying oxygen in the blood, and low levels (anemia) can slow recovery. The researchers measured erythroferron right after surgery and tracked hemoglobin over time. The goal was to understand how the body responds to blood loss and inflammation after surgery, which could help manage anemia better in the future.
