Von Willebrand's disease is a chronic bleeding disorder where both platelet aggregation and clot formation do not occur properly. It is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder. There are three main variations of Von Willebrand's disease. Each variation varies by the severity of symptoms. Type 1 is a mild disorder. It is the majority of cases. Type 2 is a mild to moderate disorder. It has moderate symptoms. Type 3 is the most severe form of the disorder. It rarely occurs. Von Willebrand's disease is also called pseudohemophilia and vascular hemophilia. It affects women and men equally. Symptoms? The most common symptoms include: What causes Von Willebrand's Disease? It is caused by a defect in a clotting factor called Von Willebrand's factor. In many cases, there is also a deficiency of clotting factor VIII. Treatment Options?

Von Willebrand factor is made by cells lining the wall of blood vessels. When vessels are damaged, platelets normally clump at the site of the injury. Von Willebrand factor acts as glue to help the platelets clump. Von Willebrand factor is also a carrier of clotting factor VIII, another protein that helps the blood to clot. Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It occurs in about 1 in every 100 to 1,000 people. There are three major types of von Willebrand disease:

http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/health/info/blood/diagnose/von-willebrand.htm

Extractions: The most commonly inherited bleeding disorder is von Willebrand Disease (vWd) and occurs in both males and females. Von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a clotting protein in the blood. It is produced in the cells that line the blood vessels and then is released into the blood stream. Bleeding occurs when blood vessels are injured. Platelets, a type of blood cell, stick to the injured vessel and form a platelet plug. Von Willebrand factor acts as a glue to help the platelets stick to the injury site. Simultaneously, other coagulation factors work together to form a clot, further sealing the area of damage. Von Willebrand Disease is known as an inherited or genetic disorder meaning it is passed down through families through information in the cells called genes.

Extractions: This disorder results from a deficiency or defect in the protein known as von Willebrand Factor (vWF). It is named after the Swedish clinician who first discovered the disease. vWF is involved in more than one stage of blood clotting. It is the protein that binds platelets to damaged tissue and promotes platelet aggregation at the earliest stage of clot formation. It also acts as a stabiliser of Factor VIII. In plasma, Factor VIII is bound to vWF which protects it and stops its breakdown. vWD is quite a common condition, and as many as 1 in 100 of the population may be mildly affected, although most are not aware of it because they have no serious symptoms. Fortunately, a large majority of those affected do not have the most severe form of vWD. The disorder is not sex-linked and both males and females may be affected. The bleeding problems experienced by vWD patients are often mucosal (nose bleeds, gastrointestinal bleeds, heavy menstrual bleeding for women, etc.). Some people with vWD receive treatment with the hormone analogue DDAVP (which is not a blood product). Where DDAVP is not effective, then replacement using plasma-derived vWF concentrates takes place.

Common Questions Common Questions About Bleeding Disorders More Information on von Willebrand Disease Can you be more specific on how one gets von Willebrand Disease? von Willebrand disease is usually inherited from one parent who has an abnormal von Willebrand factor gene. The abnormal gene is located on a chromosome called an autosomal chromosome or an autosome, rather than a sex-linked (X) chromosome. Therefore, both men and women may pass the VWD gene to their offspring. A parent with von Willebrand disease has a 50% chance of passing the disease to each of his or her children, male or female. VWD also can occur in families with no known family history of the disorder. Individuals whose VWD is the result of such a mutation may also pass the disease to their children.

Common Questions Common Questions About Bleeding Disorders What's von Willebrand Disease? von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common bleeding disorder in women and girls (1% to 2% of the population or, approximately 1.4 to 2.8 million nationwide). VWD, which is genetically transmitted from generation to generation, is caused by a defect or deficiency of an essential blood clotting protein called von Willebrand factor. Symptoms of VWD include heavy menstrual periods, frequent or prolonged nosebleeds, easy bruising and prolonged bleeding following injury, surgery, child birth or dental work. Even though the symptoms of VWD are caused by a problem with the blood, it is frequently misdiagnosed as a gynecologic problem by doctors who are not familiar with the condition. In fact, it is thought that many of the over 30,000 women who have hysterectomies performed to treat severe bleeding every year might actually have a bleeding disorder. There is no cure for VWD, but it can be treated effectively. Treatment includes birth control pills, desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) and certain clotting factor concentrates containing von Willebrand factor. DDAVP comes in two forms: an injectable form and a concentrated nasal spray (it is very easy to learn how to self-administer either form of DDAVP).

Because the bleeding symptoms in von Willebrand disease are generally mild, the diagnosis is often delayed. Prompt diagnosis and management can help to avoid potentially life-threatening bleeding events and unnecessary exposure to blood products. In this review, the various types of von Willebrand disease are outlined, the difficulties in diagnosis are discussed and the therapeutic approach to this common disorder is described.
