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

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.

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

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.

von Willebrand factor and von Willebrand disease.

[Rinsho ketsueki] The Japanese journal of clinical hematology, 2016
von Willebrand factor (VWF) has two major roles in hemostasis, as a form of molecular glue which functions in platelet plug formation and as a protective transporter for coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). VWF shows a multimeric chain structure composed of 270 kDa subunits containing binding domains for FVIII, platelet and collagens. Biosynthesis, storage,

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 ...

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

Von Willebrand Disease

2018
Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common bleeding disorder in humans. It is the result of an abnormality in the amount, structure, or function of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a glycoprotein important in maintaining normal hemostasis.. In children with vWD, the most frequent presentation is easy bruising and epistaxis.

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).

von Willebrand Disease

2020
von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, is caused by quantitative or qualitative deficiencies in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) protein. VWF is crucial for platelet adhesion and aggregation at sites of vessel injury and also for stabilizing and transporting factor VIII (FVIII) to these sites.
