Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large and complex plasma glycoprotein that is essential for normal haemostasis. It is well recognized that deficiency of VWF results in a bleeding disorder that varies in severity according to the degree of deficiency and the specific characteristics of the molecule and which may have features of both primary and secondary haemostatic defects. The complex structure of the protein and the wide range of plasma levels encountered in the population make laboratory assessment and diagnosis a challenging proposition. Since the last guidelines by this group (Laffan, et al 2004, Pasi, et al 2004), there have been considerable advances in understanding the genetics, function and clinical correlates of VWF, which have been incorporated into this revised and unified document. Here we define von Willebrand disease (VWD) as a bleeding disorder that is predominantly attributable to reduced levels of VWF activity. We recognize that this is frequently, but not always, attributable to a defect in the VWF gene (VWF). Our emphasis remains on practical guidance rather than taxonomic purity.
