Bovine Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carrier Treatment in a Severely Anemic Jehovah’s Witness Patient After Cystoprostatectomy and Nephrectomy: A Case Report

We present the case of a 77-year-old male Jehovah’s Witness who underwent a cystoprostatectomy and radical nephrectomy with a postoperative Hb nadir of 4.5 g/dL. He received an Hb-based oxygen carrier, PEGylated carboxyhemoglobin bovine (Sanguinate), with gradual improvement in anemia symptoms and eventual discharge to a short-term rehabilitation facility.
