Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is characterized by a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (vWF), leading to impaired platelet adhesion and reduced factor VIII activity, which affects hemostasis.

Management options vary from desmopressin for mild cases to IV factor VIII and vWF concentrates for severe hemorrhage.
