Understanding the Diagnostic Challenges of vWD
Learn why von Willebrand disease (vWD) requires multiple laboratory assays and why no single test can definitively confirm or exclude the diagnosis.
Recommendations for the laboratory diagnosis of von Willebrand disease
Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder; laboratory diagnosis requires a number of assays with no single diagnostic test available up to now to either confirm or exclude the diagnosis. The analysis of vWf multimers is necessary for the classification of hereditary and acquired forms of vWD and can now be performed on Sebia Hydrasys. The speaker will describe how the vWf multimers can be included in a diagnostic algorithm in conjunction with traditional tests.
This webinar is presented in English.
What will you learn?
The Role of vWF Multimer Analysis
Discover the importance of von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimer testing in the classification of hereditary and acquired forms of vWD.
Differentiating vWD Types and Subtypes
Understand how multimer patterns contribute to the accurate characterization of different vWD variants.
Integrating Multimer Testing into Diagnostic Workflows
Explore how vWF multimer analysis can be incorporated into a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm alongside traditional laboratory tests.
Leveraging Sebia Hydrasys for vWD Classification
Examine the benefits of performing vWF multimer analysis on the Sebia Hydrasys platform to support efficient and reliable vWD diagnosis.
VWF multimers analysis allows to detect of abnormalities in multimers distribution
