| | The vWF:CBA is also being investigated in various disease states, as is its usefulness as an effective marker of functional HMW vWF in both desmopressin (DDAVP) and factor-concentrate therapy in vWD. | | | The characterization of the molecular basis of vWD is of fundamental interest in providing further insight into the structure-function relationship and the biosynthesis of vWF. | | | There are two main options available for the management of von Willebrand's disease: desmopressin and transfusion therapy with blood products. |

| | Most experience in treating individuals with vWD is with intravenous infusion, with which the response is rapid (ie, peak vWF levels in approximately 45-90 min of infusion). | | | First described by Erik Adolf von Willebrand in 1926, vWD is characterized by a lifelong tendency toward easy bruising, frequent epistaxis, and menorrhagia. | | | Although some investigators found DDAVP to be clinically useful in persons with type 2B vWD, studies directed at excluding the 2B variant should be completed before DDAVP is used therapeutically. |
