von Willebrand disease

Human Pathology, 1987
von Willebrand disease (vWD) is a bleeding disorder characterized by a complex hemostatic defect. Abnormal platelet function, usually reflected by a prolonged bleeding time, is the result of a quantitative or qualitative defect of von Willebrand factor (vWF).

Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2012
AbstractLong‐term prophylaxis is not as well known in Von Willebrand disease (VWD) as in hemophilia but attempts to evaluate prophylaxis scientifically in VWD have started. A few cohort studies have been reported. In an international effort the Von Willebrand disease prophylaxis network (VWD PN) has been formed to investigate the role of prophylaxis in

VON WILLEBRAND'S DISEASE

Annual Review of Medicine, 1997
▪ Abstract  von Willebrand's disease (vWD) arises from abnormalities in von Willebrand factor (vWF), an adhesive glycoprotein uniquely involved in key aspects of both primary and secondary hemostasis. The current classification distinguishes disorders arising from partial (type 1) or complete (type 3) deficiencies and from qualitative defects (type 2).

Von Willebrand's disease

Postgraduate Medicine, 1980
Von Willebrand's disease is an autosomally transmitted disorder of hemostasis caused by a deficiency of or defect in the von Willebrand factor in the blood, a protein required for adherence of platelets to an injured vessel wall. The disease's principal manifestations are spontaneous bleeding from mucous membranes, excessive bleeding from wounds, and ...

Von Willebrand's Disease

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
Von Willebrand's disease is a familial hemorrhagic condition. There is no single test for diagnosis, no agreement on the pathogenesis, and no evidence as to the genetics of inheritance. Seven abnormalities have been reported to characterize the disease: prolonged bleeding time, capillary abnormality, thrombocytopathy, reduced blood-clotting factor VIII
