Von Willebrand disease
Von Willebrand disease is an inherited bleeding disorder. The disease is named after the doctor who discovered it, Erik von Willebrand. People born with the disease have one or both of the following:
- Low levels of a protein called von Willebrand factor that helps the blood to clot
- Von Willebrand factor that doesn't work properly
When von Willebrand factor is missing or doesn't work, it can cause prolonged bleeding after an injury or accident.
