The ISTH-Bleeding Assessment Tool is a validated instrument that is used to screen patients referred for bleeding symptoms for further laboratory testing. The three main screening tests used in the diagnosis of VWD include vonWillebrand Factor (VWF) antigen, platelet-dependent VWF activity, and factor VIII activity.

Screening

The ISTH-Bleeding Assessment Tool is a validated instrument that is used to screen patients referred for bleeding symptoms for further laboratory testing.[1]

The three main screening tests used in the diagnosis of VWD include:

  • VonWillebrand Factor (VWF) antigen
  • Platelet-dependent VWF activity
  • Factor VIII activity.
