Term
Von Willebrand disease is an inherited bleeding disorder- meaning you are born with it.

Less than normal amounts of von Willebrand factor in the blood or von Willebrand factor that does not work as well as it should

Effects the normal ability to form a blood clot

Other parts of the clotting process do still work, however
Definition

KNOW THIS
Definition
vWD pts don't bleed faster, just longer
Term
vWF is a glue like protein needed for __ __ formation. Its major functions are to serve as a bridge between __ and __ __ in the blood vessel. It also carries and protects __ __ in the blood that helps make fibrin to strengthen the plug.
Definition
- platelet plug formation
- platelets and injury sites in the blood vessel
- factor VIII
Term
von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a glue-like adhesive protein that is essential in both primary and secondary hemostasis.
In primary hemostasis, it initiates adhesion of the platelets to the injured subendothelium to form the platelet plug.
In secondary hemostasis, it serves as a carrier of factor VIII (FVIII), bringing FVIII to the site of injury where it assists in forming the fibrin clot. vWF also protects FVIII from rapid proteolytic degradation in the circulation.
Circulating vWF does not bind to platelets; however, exposure to the subendothelial matrix allows it to bind to the platelets.
Definition
Term
prevalence of vWD:
Definition
Most common inherited bleeding disorder
Estimated to affect ~1% of the population (mostly type 1)
Males and females of all races may be affected
May be diagnosed at any age
Symptoms generally mild and may not require frequent treatment with type 1
Term
Three different types of von Willebrand Disease:
Type 1, 2 and 3

The severity of the bleeding problem will depend on the type of von Willebrand Disease
Definition
Classification (major types):
Type 1, partial quantitative deficiency (≈80%)
Type 2, qualitative abnormalities (≈ 15%)
Type 3, complete deficiency (< 5%)
Term
Type 1 vWD:
Most common type; in >80% of cases
Partial Quantitative defect
Normal structure and function of vWF
Mild to moderate decrease in amount of vWF in the blood stream
Bleeding symptoms may be absent, mild, or moderate
Definition
Term
clotting defect in pts with vWD:
Definition
- platelets don't stick together as well
- fibrin is not as strong b/c less factor viii at site
Term
Fibrin clot formation is dependent on both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways to activate the clotting factors.
Both pathways trigger the final common pathway to convert fibrinogen to fibrin.
Definition
Term
clinical presentation of vWD:

Heavy, prolonged menstrual periods
Easy, excessive bruising
Nosebleeds
May vary in each person from time to time, throughout life
Term
von Willebrand Factor may be increased with:
Definition
- exercise, stress
- inflammation
- pregnancy
- ocp/hrt
- smoking
- surgery, trauma, blood transfusion
- child birth
Term
The diagnosis of type 1 vWD, the most common form of vWD, can be problematic because of the variability of the disorder.
Levels of vWF vary from day to day and can be affected by numerous factors, as indicated on this slide.
Testing at any one time may yield false-positive or false-negative results due to these factors.
Because vWF levels are lower in people with type O blood, a diagnosis of vWD should be made using laboratory ranges that are normal for this blood group.
Definition
Term
vWD diagnosis:

vitamin K
Term

Term
Newborns are prone to vitamin K deficiency because…

Vitamin K and lipids are not easily transported across the placental barrier
Prothrombin synthesis in the liver is an immature process in newborns, especially when premature.
The neonatal gut is sterile, lacking the bacteria that is necessary in menaquinone synthesis.
Breast milk is not a good source of vitamin K

Results in a hemorrhagic disease called vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB)

This disease is associated with breastfeeding, maladsorption of lipids, or liver
disorders.
Definition

Definition
Uncommon in adults because normal bacteria found in the gut synthesize Vitamin K2
