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

Diagnosis of von Willebrand Disease

Haemophilia, 1999
The haemorrhagic diathesis in von Willebrand disease (vWD) is caused by a quantitative deficiency or a qualitative defect in the von Willebrand factor (vWF) in plasma and/or platelets causing insufficient primary haemostasis. Since vWF binds and protects factor VIII (FVIII) towards random proteolysis, coagulation may also be impaired in patients with a

von Willebrand Disease and Pregnancy

Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2000
von Willebrand Disease (vWD) affects approximately 1% of Americans and as many as 25% of women referred for evaluation of menorrhagia. We briefly review the history of vWD, its molecular defects, and diagnostic criteria for each subtype of disease. We also address obstetric management of the patient with vWD. While there is a significant increased risk

Buccal mucosa bleeding times of healthy dogs and of dogs in various pathologic states, including thrombocytopenia, uremia, and von Willebrand's disease.

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1987
The buccal mucosa bleeding time (BMBT; duration of hemorrhage from standardized cuts made with a spring-loaded disposable device in the mucosal surface of the upper lip) was used to evaluate the hemostatic competence of dogs.

von Willebrand disease

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. The disorder is characterized by excessive mucocutaneous bleeding. The most common bleeding manifestations of this condition include nosebleeds, bruising, bleeding from minor wounds, menorrhagia or postpartum bleeding in women as well as bleeding after surgery.

Von Willebrand Disease

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2006
Von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, results from a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a protein required for the normal adhesion of platelets to the site of injured endothelium and for preservation of factor VIII in the circulation. The prevalence of VWD has been reported to be as high as 1.3%. Among women

von Willebrand Disease

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1990
The study of a wide variety of patients with vWD disorders has been extensive and intense over the last decade. In many instances the peculiarities of the expressions of the disorder have been critical in defining the underlying structure and function of vWF itself.

Antibodies to von Willebrand factor in von Willebrand disease

1995
The occurrence of an alloantibody directed against von Willebrand factor in a multitransfused patient with severe (type III) von Willebrand disease was first reported in 2 consecutive studies by Sarji et al. (1974) and Stratton et al. (1975). After this, 14 additional cases of alloantibodies were described and reviewed by Mannucci and Mari (1984).

Treatment of von Willebrand's disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, 1997
von Willebrand's disease is the most frequent of inherited bleeding disorders (1:100 affected individuals in the general population). The aim of therapy is to correct the dual defects of haemostasis, i.e. abnormal coagulation expressed by low levels of factor VIII and abnormal platelet adhesion expressed by a prolonged bleeding time. There are two main
