IV nutrition may change blood clotting, large study finds
NCT ID NCT07470385
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed observational study looked at how intravenous lipid emulsions (fat-containing nutrition given through a vein) affect blood clotting in 6,259 hospitalized patients. Researchers compared clotting tests before and after patients received these emulsions as part of routine care. The goal is to understand any changes in clotting function, which could help guide safer use of IV nutrition in hospitals.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- intravenous lipid emulsions (fat-containing nutrition given through a vein)
- What this could lead to
- If it shows a clear effect, this could help doctors better understand how IV nutrition affects blood clotting and guide safer use in hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can only show links, not cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who received intravenous lipid emulsion therapy for a total duration of ≥ 5 days during hospitalization. * Lipid emulsions include single-bottle lipid emulsion injections and commercially available three-chamber parenteral nutrition admixtures containing lipid emulsions. * Lipid emulsions do not include anesthetic-containing formulations, such as medium- or long-chain triglyceride lipid emulsions used in propofol. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who underwent major surgery with total blood loss exceeding 500 mL. * Patients with malignant tumors who were receiving radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy during hospitalization. * Patients with long-term use of anticoagulants or other medications known to affect coagulation function. * Patients with active bleeding, any known coagulation or bleeding disorders, autoimmune diseases (e.g., primary immune thrombocytopenia), hematologic diseases (including thrombocytopenic purpura, megaloblastic anemia, aplastic anemia, or hematologic malignancies), or acquired immunodeficiency diseases. * Patients who received blood transfusions during hospitalization. * Patients with incomplete or missing clinical records.
