NCT ID NCT04656054
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 20 women who had large-volume liposuction (5–8 liters) to see how removing fat from different body surface areas affects hemoglobin, clotting, and electrolyte levels. The goal was to understand safety risks better. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to gather knowledge for safer procedures.
