Abstract

Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder; laboratory diagnosis requires a number of assays with no single diagnostic test available up to now to either confirm or exclude the diagnosis. The analysis of vWf multimers is necessary for the classification of hereditary and acquired forms of vWD and can now be performed on Sebia Hydrasys. The speaker will describe how the vWf multimers can be included in a diagnostic algorithm in conjunction with traditional tests.
