    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Most of us have become accustomed to life's bumps and bruises...and scrapes, cuts, sprains and strains. We've all had those clumsy times where life seems like nothing but a series of minor mishaps. We're able to ignore many of these injuries, while others are easily put right with a bandage or a few days' rest. But for children and young adults with abnormal reactions to life's accidents - including heavy bleeding, bleeding that doesn't stop, or very frequent bruising - testing for von Willebrand disease could be in order. Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a hereditary bleeding disorder, in fact, one of the most common bleeding disorders known: it affects about 1% of all Americans. The illness involves a protein in the blood called von Willebrand factor, or VWF, which helps our blood to clot. People with von Willebrand disease don't have enough of the factor available in their blood, or the VWF that is present doesn't perform effectively. Simple injuries can bring on heavier and longer bleeding episodes than usual or cause frequent bruises to form under the skin. Men and women can both have VWD, but women are usually more symptomatic, with heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) being a common symptom.

It turns out her mother (my brother's daughter) carries the gene for von Willebrand disease. She was told the male carries the disease. Is it possible I am also a carrier? I have had surgery with no problems. A: Whenever our skin or mucus membranes are cut, about a dozen clotting factors work together to make a clot. One clotting factor is von Willebrand factor, and when this factor is mutated, you have von Willebrand disease . People with von Willebrand disease may bleed easily, particularly after surgery on mucus membranes, such as a tonsillectomy or oral surgery. Nearly 1% of all people have von Willebrand disease, but some are only affected mildly and some are never diagnosed. Women with von Willebrand disease are more often diagnosed because they may notice increased menstrual bleeding.

    Extractions: What is von Willebrand's disease? Von Willebrand's disease is a bleeding disorder in which the body's blood system has a missing or malfunctioning von Willebrand factor. The von Willebrand factor ordinarily attracts platelets and helps them stick together to form a blood clot, which is necessary to stop bleeding when you are cut or injured. The von Willebrand factor also protects a related blood-clotting component called factor VIII. What causes von Willebrand's disease? Von Willebrand's disease is passed down through families. It is the most common bleeding disorder present at birth (congenital). Approximately 1% of people inherit this disease.

It is the most common inherited bleeding disorder in humans with a prevalence ranging from 3-4 per 100,000 to 1.3% of the population (reviewed in Keeney and Cumming, 2001). More than 20 subtypes of VWD have been described, although current classification consists of 6 distinct types (Sadler, 1994). Types 1 and 3 are quantitative VWF defects whilst the four type 2 variants are qualitative VWF defects. For more information, see the review by Keeney and Cumming, 2001. For example multimer diagrams, click here Back to index VWD Classification Description Type 1 Partial quantitative deficiency of VWF. Typically autosomal dominant in inheritance although diagnosis is complicated by reduced penitrance and variable expressivity. Characterised by parallel reductions in VWF:Ag and Factor VIII. Multimer distribution is normal. Type 2A Qualitative VWF defect associated with absence of the largest multimers and low levels of VWF:Ricof activity relative to VWF:Ag. Generally autosomal dominant, caused by missense mutations within the VWF A2 repeat. Group 1 (defect in intracellular transport) or group 2 (increase in proteolysis in plasma after secretion).

    Extractions: The Tyler Medical Clinic Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments - List of Diseases - Von Willebrand Disease Von Willebrand Disease is the most common hereditary blood disorder that is characterized by prolonged bleeding time. Approximately 1% of the US population is affected by Von Willebrand Disease. There are different subtypes of Von Willebrand Disease, namely Types 1, 2A, 2B, 2M, 2N, and 3. Type 1 is mildest form as well as the most common. Type 3 on the other hand, is rare and is the most severe form. They are classified according to the genetic mutation present. In response to an injury such as a cut, the body releases platelets to form a plug at the injury site and to prevent further bleeding. Various factors are released by platelets including von Willebrand Factor (vWF) to aid in the clotting process. Reduced levels or reduced functioning of vWF results in prolonged bleeding times in individuals affected with Von Willebrand Disease. Patients with a severe form of Von Willebrand Disease may also suffer from spontaneous nose bleeds and bleeding from mouth, stomach, intestines or urinary system. Increased bleeding time, reduced levels and functioning of vWF and decreased levels of another clotting factor, Factor VIII, must be present for a definitive diagnosis of Von Willebrand Disease. The most common treatment for Von Willebrand Disease is replacement therapy. Factor VIII and vWF replacements are administered to the patients. Other drugs may also be administered to aid in the clotting process of the patient.

    Extractions: The disease was first described by the Finnish physician Erik von Willebrand in 1926, when he noticed that many members of a large family from the Aland Islands in the Gulf of Bothnia had a bleeding disorder with a distinct inherited pattern. Von Willebrand's disease affects about 1-3% of the world's population, including about 1% of people in the United States. Von Willebrand's disease is classified into three basic types. The mildest form, type 1, occurs in approximately 70-80% of patients. The moderate form of von Willebrand's disease is called type 2 and affects about 20-30% of people with the disease. The most severe form is called type 3. Type 3 disease is very rare, occurring in about one person per million. The classification system for von Willebrand's disease was revised in 1994. The three major types were subdivided into types 1, 2A, 2B, 2M, 2N, and 3. This revision was necessary because of the many different genetic mutations that cause the disorder.

It is characterized by a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a glycoprotein that is involved in platelet adhesion to the vessel wall during formation of the primary hemostatic plug. Although vWD is most commonly reported in dogs, it also has been observed in swine, horses, cattle, and cats. Disease Mechanism vWD is characterized by a lack of functional vWF, resulting in abnormal primary hemostasis (platelet plug formation) and prolongation of bleeding time in vivo Figure 1. Small, medium, and large multimers of vWF exist. The largest ones (high molecular weight) are most active in hemostasis because they presumably have increased numbers of binding sites per molecule or because their physical characteristics alter under certain conditions of blood flow. vWF circulates bound to factor VIII and appears to prolong the half life of factor VIII. In dogs with vWD, factor VIII concentrations usually remain at 20% or more of normal values. The role of vWF in the release and production of factor VIII has not been clarified.

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.
