von Willebrand Disease

One order determines precise, patient-specific results.

Versiti Diagnostic Labs is proud to continue expanding the frontier of von Willebrand Disease diagnostics through advanced and comprehensive laboratory medicine.

The experience of our multidisciplinary team and streamlined diagnostic process provides confidence that your test results best reflect your patient’s specific clinical scenario.

Though von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding condition (affecting approximately 1% of the U.S. population), it is often misdiagnosed, particularly among women. Characterized by either quantitative, or qualitative defects of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a plasma protein that assists platelets as they initially adhere at sites of vascular injury, the correct diagnosis of variant VWD is essential to providing effective treatment. BloodCenter of Wisconsin, part of Versiti, is proud to offer one of the largest diagnostic menus to accurately and confidently diagnose VWD, and a streamlined reflexive algorithm for initial diagnosis.

Clear answers for your most complex VWD cases.

Our von Willebrand Disease testing algorithm uses a streamlined series of tests and analyses to correctly identify the disese variant in each patient. This unique appraoch to VWD management, with one clear order, can only be found through Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin.

Anti-VWF Antibody IgG and IgM

This assay quantifies anti-VWF antibodies IgG and IgM using an ELISA plate method to support diagnosis of acquired von Willebrand disease.

1068

Ristocetin-Induced Platelet Aggregation (RIPA)

Aggregation with high and low dose ristocetin is used to identify patients with type 2B von Willebrand Disease, platelet-type von Willebrand Disease or Bernard-Soulier Syndrome. Platelet Aggregation Form

VWD Diagnostic Evaluation

This panel is offered to patients <6 months of age only. Reflexive algorithm always includes: FVIII Activity, VWF Antigen, VWF GPIbM Activity (performed by ELISA), and VWF Collagen III Binding. Reflex testing may include: VWD Type 2B Binding, VWD Type 2N Binding, VWF Propeptide Antigen, and/or VWF Quantitative Multimer.

VWD Diagnostic Panel

Reflexive algorithm always includes: FVIII Activity, VWF Antigen, VWF:GPIbM Activity, and VWF Collagen III Binding. Reflex testing may include: VWD Type 2B Binding, VWD Type 2N Binding, VWF Propeptide Antigen, and/or VWF Quantitative Multimer.

1215

VWD Monitoring Profile

This panel is offered to patients <6 months of age only and includes Factor VIII Activity, VWF Antigen, and VWF GPIbM Activity (performed by ELISA).

1289

VWD Platelet-Type Sequence Analysis

This test for platelet-type VWD provides sequencing of the full coding region (plus 30bp into the introns) of GPIBA.

1230

VWD Therapeutic Monitoring

This panel includes Factor VIII Activity, VWF Antigen, and VWF GPIbM Activity.

1067

VWD Type 2B Evaluation

This order set includes VWD Type 2B Binding and VWD Type 2B Quantitative Multimer.

1089

VWD Type 2N Binding

This 2N-von Willebrand Disease panel is designed to distinguish type 2N-von Willebrand disease from mild hemophilia A and hemophilia A carriers.

1088

VWD Type 2N Profile

This order set includes: Factor VIII Activity, VWF Antigen and VWD Type 2N Binding.

1288

VWD Type 2N Sequence Analysis

Sequence analysis of VWF exons 17-21 and 24-27 detects germline variants associated with type 2N von willebrand disease (VWD).

1062

VWF Antigen

This assay measures a patient's total vWF protein level, independent of the multimer composition of the plasma

1279

VWF Collagen Binding Profile

This assay tests the capacity of platelet adhesion at sites of blood vessel injury and can identify qualitative binding issues. Includes VWF Antigen, VWF Collagen III Binding, and VWF Collagen IV Binding. Additional reflex to VWF Quantitative Multimer, if indicated.

1281

VWF Collagen III Binding

This assay tests the capacity of platelet adhesion at sites of blood vessel injury and can identify qualitative binding issues.

1280

VWF Collagen IV Binding

This assay tests the capacity of platelet adhesion at sites of blood vessel injury and can identify qualitative binding issues.

1284

VWF Exon 28 Sequence Analysis (For Type 2M or 2B VWD)

Sequence Analysis of VWF exon 28 detects germline variants associated with type 2B or type 2M von Willebrand disease (VWD).

1070

VWF GPIbM Activity

This assay is performed by ELISA and is only offered for patients <6 months of age. VWF GPIbM Activity is a ristocetin-independent activity assay and is an alternative to VWF Ristocetin Cofactor Activity with superior precision and sensitivity.

1090

VWF GPIbM Binding Activity

This assay is offered to patients = 6 months of age. VWF:GPIbM Activity is a ristocetin-independent activity assay and is an alternative to VWF Ristocetin Cofactor Activity with superior precision and sensitivity.

1050

VWF Inhibitor Panel

Order set includes VWF Inhibitor Screen mixing study and VWF:GPIbM Activity. If the VWF GPIbM result is >= 50 IU/dL, the inhibitor screen is invalid and will be cancelled and credited.

1065

VWF Inhibitor Profile

This panel is offered to patients <6 months of age only. Order set includes VWF Inhibitor Screen mixing study and VWF GPIbM Activity (performed by ELISA). If the VWF GPIbM result is >= 50 IU/dL, the inhibitor screen is invalid and will be cancelled and credited.

1282

VWF Propeptide Antigen

This assay evaluates propeptide antigen levels. This result should be correlated with VWF antigen, VWF ristocetin cofactor activity, VWF multimers, and clinical history by the ordering physician to arrive at the appropriate diagnosis.

1063

VWF Quantitative Multimer

Quantitative multimer analysis provides an objective measure of VWF structure to characterize subtle changes observed in the subtypes of VWD and may help to determine the nature of any additional clinical laboratory testing to reach a clear-cut diagnosis
