Overview

Von Willebrand disease differential diagnosis

vWD must be differentiated from platelet disorders, thrombophilias, and hemophilias as shown below:

Variable vWD Thrombophilia Hemophilia Platelet disorder
Genetics Mostly autosomal dominant and rarely recessive Mostly by mutation in the F5 gene (at position 1691) and prothrombin G20210A X-linked recessive  Variable depending of type
Presentation Children mostly present with symptoms of bruising and epistaxis.[1]Adults present with bleeding after surgery, mucosa-associated bleeding, heavy menstrual periods and postpartum hemorrhage. Severe internal or joint bleeding is rare (which only occurs in type 3 vWD). [2] Manifests as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism with sudden-onset shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations Deep tissue bleeding into joint spaces Superficial bleeding
Platelet count Normal Normal Normal Low
Clotting factor 8 or 9 Low to normal factor 8 factor IX is increase[3] Decreased factor VIII or IX Normal
vWF Dcreased Increased[4] Normal Normal
Prothrobin time Normal Normal Normal Normal
aPTT Prolonged Normal Increased Normal
Treatment Desmopressin or vWF or factor VIII concentrates Variable depending on the cause Factor VIII or IX concentrate Depends on type
