Von Willebrand disease
A case report
Keywords:
Von Willebrand Disease, bleeding patients, blood lossAbstract
An hereditary bleeding illness is Von Willebrand Disease (vWD). Along with normal or declining factor VIII levels, von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels also fall. Clinical signs include bleeding that looks "platelet-like" and bleeds resemble factor VIII insufficiency. Life-threatening bleeding might result from the strategic position of the bleed, the volume of blood lost, or complications brought on by the significant blood loss. Treatment modalities include desmopressin (DDAVP) and replacement of vWF. The aim of this report is to make health professionals aware of this possibility that could be in operating on bleeding patients.
