Active clinical trials for "Anemia"

The aim of this study is to describe, in a real-life context, the impact of an epoetin alpha biosimilar, Retacrit®, on anaemia in patients receiving chemotherapy, according to concomitant iron supplementation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients with pulmonary hypertension and sickle cell disease who have had multiple echocardiograms. Previous studies have shown that an elevated tricuspid jet (TR) regurgitant velocity on echo in this population is a predictor of mortality. This initial data only examined an isolated TR jet velocity. It was presumed that the mortality was related to pulmonary hypertension. It is the aim of this study to retrospectively evaluate patients who have had multiple echocardiograms and to determine if patients who had either a normalization of their TR jet velocity on a subsequent echo or had no evidence of pulmonary hypertension on right heart catheterization had a similar mortality rate to those with persistently elevated TR jet velocity.

This study aims to examine iron deficiency symptoms and biochemical iron status based on hemoglobin, hematocrit, ferritin, and total iron binding capacity in menstruating females.

This study investigates the association between locally consumed food items with anemia among pregnant women, in Addis Ababa city, Ethiopia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of CKD-related anemia at an early stage through screening of high-risk patients in Pakistan at the level of physicians, cardiologists, and diabetologists. The information gathered may serve as a foundation in formulating national guidelines for better early diagnosis and management of patients with CKD.

To ascertain the risk factors of AA in ZheJiang Province of China at the moment, especially the comprehensive multiple factors risks. The author conducted a case-control research included 338 AA cases and 1464 controls. Subjects were surveyed using same standard questionnaire including personal data, past histories of diseases, family history and histories of occupational and daily exposure to harmful substances. Single and multiple Logistic regression analyses were made using SPSS17.0 on the dates to study potential factors in the development of AA.

The frequency of iron deficiency anemia was extensively studied in infants on the first year of life. There is not enough information about the frequency of iron deficiency during the second and third years of life. In a previous study performed in Israel and published in Pediatrics 2006 the incidence of anemia does not decrease towards age 18 months. Then there is reasonable to study the iron deficiency frequency beyond this age.

Anemia is frequent in patients with heart failure. Few studies have clearly addressed the causes of anemia in patients with HF. The purpose of this study is to evaluate differences in blood concentrations of various substances related to inflammation, oxidative stress, renal function and other processes between individuals with 1) heart failure and anemia, 2) heart failure without anemia and 3) patients with kidney disease without systolic heart failure. This study will help to better understand the reasons why some people with heart failure have anemia.

The primary objective of this study is to examine transplant related mortality (TRM) at 100 days <30%. A TRM of >50% is considered unacceptable. This study also seeks a TRM at 12 months that is <50%, engraftment >90% (defined as donor cells >80% at 6 months), and 1 year overall survival >50%.

Serum and fecal samples were collected from infants at either 6-7 m of age or 12-13 m of age. Serum and feces were analyzed locally for hemoglobin status or evidence of parasites, and standard of care was provided. Excess serum was transported to UC Davis for metabolomics analysis and the University of Hohenheim for iron status assessment and measurement of inflammatory markers. Fecal samples were transported to UC Davis for measurement of the microbiome structure and function.
