A thrombopoietin receptor agonist to rescue an unusual platelet transfusion-induced reaction in a p.V1316M-associated von Willebrand disease type 2B patient

Therapeutic Advances in Hematology, 2022
This report describes the first case of splenic injury in a patient with p.V1316M-associated von Willebrand disease type 2B (VWD2B) with chronic thrombocytopenia, successfully treated with nonoperative management including von Willebrand factor (VWF ...

Acquired von Willebrand disease as a cause of recurrent mucocutaneous bleeding in primary thrombocythemia: Relationship with platelet count [PDF]

, 1994
We present a 4-year follow-up of a 42-year-old patient with primary thrombocythemia whose clinical course was complicated by two major mucocutaneous bleeding episodes.

Pregnancy and delivery in women with von Willebrand’s disease and different von Willebrand factor mutations

Haematologica, 2010
Background Pregnancy in von Willebrand’s disease may carry a significant risk of bleeding. Information on changes in factor VIII and von Willebrand factor and pregnancy outcome in relation to von Willebrand factor gene mutations are very scanty.Design ...

von Willebrand factor activity and activated partial thromboplastin time as proxy biomarkers for coagulopathies in women with menorrhagia in Zambia: a case-control study

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2021
INTRODUCTION: von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most prevalent bleeding disorder. Women are more likely to manifest abnormal bleeding symptoms due to physiologic events and menorrhagia is the most common presenting symptom.

Insights into pathological mechanisms of missense mutations in C-terminal domains of von Willebrand factor causing qualitative or quantitative von Willebrand disease

Haematologica, 2013
The carboxyl-terminal domains of von Willebrand factor, D4-CK, are cysteine-rich implying that they are structurally important. In this study we characterized the impact of five cysteine missense mutations residing in D4-CK domains on the conformation ...

von Willebrand factor and inflammation [PDF]

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2017
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a plasma glycoprotein best known for its crucial hemostatic role in serving as a molecular bridge linking platelets to subendothelial components following vascular injury. In addition, VWF functions as chaperone for coagulation factor VIII. In pathological settings, VWF is recognized as a risk factor for both arterial and

Diagnosis of von Willebrand disease in Argentina: a single institution experience [PDF]

, 2017
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common autosomal bleeding disorder, mostlyinherited as dominant trait. VWD is due to deficiency/abnormality of von Willebrand factor (VWF).

Macrophage scavenger receptor SR-AI contributes to the clearance of von Willebrand factor

Haematologica, 2018
Previously, we found that LDL-receptor related protein-1 on macrophages mediated shear stress-dependent clearance of von Willebrand factor. In control experiments, however, we observed that von Willebrand factor also binds to macrophages independently of

von Willebrand Disease: The diagnosis and management of this bleeding disorder

Medical Journal of Babylon, 2020
von Willebrand disease (vWD) is one of the most common bleeding disorders, first described by Erik von Willebrand in the Aland Islands. It occurs as a result of decreased or abnormal von Willebrand factor (vWF), a factor that is needed in the process of ...

Von Willebrand Disease [PDF]

, 2017
Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a blood clotting disorder characterized by low levels of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in the blood. VWF is functions to bind platelets and promote clotting of the blood when vascular injury occurs.
