Overview
Patients with von willebrand disease have a lower health-related quality of life compared to the general population especially with the bleeding phenotype.[1] There is physiologic rise in von Willebrand factor levels throughout life. As a result of this, patients with type 1 von Willebrand’s disease may have normal levels of vWF at older age.[2] However, bleeding symptoms occur at similar frequency in patients older than 65 years as well as in those who are 18 to 65 years of age[3] Menorrhagia is a major complication, which also impairs the quality of life.[4] Angiodysplasia is serious, and possibly life-threatening complication.[5] Intraarticular bleeding (although rare) may be a presenting symptom in those with type 2N or type 3 disease.[6] Primary and secondary postpartum bleeding is a commmon complication.[7][8][9]
