Acquired von Willebrand disease in a patient with angiodysplasia resulting from immune-mediated clearance of von Willebrand factor.
British Journal of Haematology 1997 January
A patient with a severe bleeding tendency due to acquired von Willebrand disease (VWD) is presented. Although no underlying disorder has emerged during 6 years of follow-up, an immune-mediated mechanism was responsible for acquired VWD in this patient as demonstrated by detection of von Willebrand factor (VWF)/anti-VWF complexes in the patient's plasma and their removal by protein A-sepharose beads and resumption of normal haemostasis with correction of VWF antigen, VWF activity and VWF multimeric pattern after treatment of the patient with high-dose gammaglobulin. Detection of anti-VWF antibodies in the patient's plasma had a significant impact on the choice of therapeutic intervention to control bleeding.
