This review provides an update on SCD pathophysiology with a particular focus on the role of the von Willebrand Factor – ADAMTS13 axis dysregulation. In discussing recent developments, we hope to encourage new and ongoing discussions surrounding therapeutic targets for SCD. Within the last five years, the role of VWF in the pathophysiology of SCD has been emphasized. It is currently a target of study in ongoing clinical trials. The pathophysiology of SCD is multifaceted, as it involves systemwide vascular activation, altered blood rheology, immune activation, and coagulative involvement. The presence of VWF in excess in SCD, particularly in its largest multimeric form, greatly contributes to its pathogenesis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that underly the presence of large VWF multimers in SCD will provide further insight into the pathogenesis of SCD and provide specific targets for therapy.
