Von Willebrand Disease (VWD). What is it? Let's Talk. 🩸

VWD is the most common inherited bleeding disorder that we know about, and occurs in around 1 in 1000 individuals worldwide.

VWD is caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of a clotting factor, called von Willebrand factor (VWF) that is critically important to stop bleeding once it has started. The first step in ensuring appropriate management for VWD is an accurate diagnosis, which means the bleeding symptoms must be recognized as abnormal. Our Self-administered bleeding assessment tool (Self-BAT) was designed to identify individuals with abnormal bleeding in need of laboratory testing. Effective treatments for VWD are available.
