Von Willebrand Disease VWD Panel Test
Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment for Bleeding Disorders
The Von Willebrand Disease VWD Panel Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach to identifying and characterizing Von Willebrand disease, the most prevalent inherited bleeding disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population. This comprehensive panel provides crucial insights into your coagulation system’s functionality, enabling accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning for individuals experiencing abnormal bleeding tendencies.
What Does the VWD Panel Measure?
Our advanced VWD Panel evaluates multiple critical components of the coagulation cascade through precise laboratory analysis:
- vWF Ristocetin Cofactor Activity (vWF:RCo): Measures the functional capacity of von Willebrand factor to interact with platelets
- vWF Collagen Binding Activity (vWF:CB): Assesses the binding efficiency of vWF to collagen surfaces
- Factor VIII Functional Activity: Evaluates the coagulation factor that works closely with vWF
- vWF Antigen (vWF:Ag): Quantifies the total amount of von Willebrand factor in circulation
Who Should Consider This Test?
This comprehensive screening is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Unexplained or excessive bruising without significant trauma
- Prolonged bleeding following minor cuts, dental procedures, or surgeries
- Frequent nosebleeds lasting longer than 10 minutes
- Heavy menstrual periods requiring frequent pad/tampon changes
- Excessive bleeding during childbirth or after delivery
- Family history of bleeding disorders or abnormal bleeding patterns
- Pre-surgical screening for bleeding risk assessment
- Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding or joint bleeds
Clinical Benefits of VWD Panel Testing
Undergoing comprehensive VWD testing provides numerous advantages for both diagnosis and management:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Differentiates between various types of Von Willebrand disease (Type 1, 2A, 2B, 2M, 2N, and Type 3)
- Personalized Treatment Planning: Guides appropriate therapeutic interventions including desmopressin, vWF concentrates, or antifibrinolytics
- Risk Assessment: Identifies bleeding risks before surgical procedures or dental work
- Family Screening: Enables early detection in relatives of affected individuals
- Monitoring Effectiveness: Tracks response to treatment and disease progression
- Prevention of Complications: Reduces risk of severe bleeding episodes and associated morbidity
Understanding Your Test Results
Your VWD Panel results will provide detailed information about your coagulation profile:
- Normal Results: All parameters within reference ranges indicate normal coagulation function
- Type 1 VWD: Reduced vWF antigen and activity levels with normal multimer pattern
- Type 2 VWD: Discrepancy between vWF antigen and activity with abnormal multimer distribution
- Type 3 VWD: Severely reduced or absent vWF with significantly low Factor VIII levels
- Acquired VWD: May indicate underlying autoimmune disorders or other medical conditions
Our hematology specialists will provide comprehensive interpretation and personalized recommendations based on your specific results and clinical presentation.
