Von Willebrand Factor and ADAMTS13 in COVID-19 and Beyond: A Question of Balance
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large, adhesive, multimeric protein involved in haemostasis. The larger the size (or number of VWF multimers), the greater the functionality of the protein. A deficiency or defect in VWF can lead to von Willebrand disease

A case of refractory thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura treated with plasmapheresis and rituximab [PDF]
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening disorder with no prevalence or incidence studies in sub-Saharan Africa. Acquired TTP has several causes, all of which lead to decreased activity of von Willebrand factor cleaving ...
