Overview
The mainstay of management is medical therapy.[1][2][3]
Medical therapy of von Willebrand's disease ( vWD) involves normalizing the von Willebrand factor and factor VIII levels. Endogenous factor levels can be increased by the use of desmopressin or by infusing exogenous coagulation factors example high-purity or low-purity von Willebrand factor concentrate.[4][5]
Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended in von Willebrand's disease. Medical therapy depends on the type of von Willebrand's disease. Desmopressin is used for type 1 and 2 von Willebrand's disease. von Willebrand factor-factor VIII or von Willebrand factor concentrate is used in some of type 2 von Willebrand's disease and all of type 3 von Willebrand's disease. Alternate or additional therapy involves the use of tranexamic acid, IL-11 [6][7] or aminocaproic acid.
Medical Therapy
Medical treatment of von Willebrand's disease involves normalizing the von Willebrand factor and factor VIII levels. Endogenous factor levels can be increased by the use of desmopressin or by infusing exogenous coagulation factors example high-purity or low-purity von Willebrand factor concentrate.[4][5]
Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended in von Willebrand's disease patients as shown below:[1][2][3]
Type | Treatment | Additional/Alternative treatement |
---|---|---|
Low vWF | Desmopressin administered intravenously 0.3μg per kilogram body weight,
intranasally 300μg (150μg per nostril); in patients with body weight <50Kg, only one dose of 150μg or subcutaneously 0.3μg/kilogram |
Tranexamic acid 1g 3 to 4 times daily |
1 | Demospressin at same dose as above | Tranexamic acid 1g 3 to 4 times daily |
2 | Demospressin at same dose as above or von Willebrand factor-Factor VIII or von Willebrand factor concentrate | Tranexamic acid 1g 3 to 4 times daily |
3 | Von Willebrand factor-Factor VIII or von Willebrand factor concentrate | Tranexamic acid 1g 3 to 4 times daily |
Desmopressin is contraindicated in patients with type 2B disease.
For women with heavy menstrual bleeding, the combined oral contraceptive pill may be effective in reducing bleeding or in reducing the length or frequency of periods. Prophylactic treatment is sometimes given for patients with von Willebrand's disease who are scheduled for surgery. They can be treated with human derived medium purity factor VIII concentrates complexed to von Willebrand factor. Desmopressin works by raising the patient's own plasma levels of von Willebrand factor by inducing release of von Willebrand factor stored in the Weibel-Palade bodies in the endothelial cells.
Daily subcutaneous administration of interleukin-11 have been used with success as an alternative modality which increases von Willebrand factor and factor VIII levels by a factor of 1.3 to 2. It is presumabed to increase von Willebrand factor messenger RNA levels in patients with type 1 von Willebrand’s disease that is unresponsive to treatment with desmopressin.[6] Interleukin-11 reduced the severity of bleeding in women with menorrhagia.[7]
