Von Willebrand's disease is the most common hereditary bleeding disorder. It affects both sexes approximately equally. Most cases are mild, and bleeding may occur after a surgical procedure or tooth extraction. The condition is worsened by the use of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Bleeding may decrease during pregnancy.
The disease is very common, affecting at least 1% of the population. A family history of a bleeding disorder is the primary risk factor. In women with heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, Von Willebrand's is more common in Caucasian women than African American women.
Increased risk of excessive bleeding following surgery, dental procedures or injury occurs in individuals with this disorder.
The tendency to prolonged bleeding usually decreases with age.
Normally, bleeding occurs when a blood vessel is cut or torn. Platelets (small cells that float in the blood) plug the hole in the blood vessel to stop the flow of blood. With the help of calcium, vitamin K, and a protein called fibrinogen, the platelets create a mesh to hold the plug in place and close the wound. As this mesh dries, it hardens and forms a scab to protect the wound as it heals.
A substance in the blood known as von Willebrand factor helps platelets stick to damaged blood vessels. Another function of von Willebrand factor is to carry the important clotting protein, called factor VIII, in the blood. People with von Willebrand disease have a problem with one or both of these blood components.
As with many conditions, there are various forms of VWD. Type 1 is the most common and the mildest form of the disease. Unlike hemophilia, which affects only boys, VWD affects boys and girls equally.
  • In Type 1, the level of von Willebrand factor in the blood is reduced. Although the condition can be made worse by taking aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the symptoms might be so mild that the person isn't ever diagnosed. People with Type I VWD usually do not bleed spontaneously, but they can have significant bleeding with trauma, surgery, or when they have a tooth pulled.
  • In Type 2, the von Willebrand factor has an abnormality. Within this type are two kinds of VWD:
    • Type 2A, in which the building blocks that make up the factor (called multimers) are smaller than usual or break down too easily.
    • Type 2B, in which the factor sticks to the platelets too well. This leads to clumping of the platelets, which can cause a low platelet number.
  • Type 3 patients have severe bleeding problems and have no measurable von Willebrand factor and factor VIII (the protein that helps with blood clotting).
  • Pseudo, or platelet-type, von Willebrand disease is similar to Type 2B, but the defect is in the platelets instead of in the factor
