Consistency of Responses to Repeated DDAVP Infusions in Patients With von Willebrand
نویسندگان
چکیده
The consistency in time of responses to separate desmopressin (DDAVP) infusions in patients with von Willebrand’s disease (vWD) and mild or moderate hemophilia A has been the subject of limited investigation. We report here the results of a clinical study undertaken to test the consistency of responses to repeated DDAVP administrations in 22 patients with vWD and 1 0 with mild or moderate hemophilia A (time interval between first and last infusion ranging from 1 to 77 months; median, 13 months). In patients with vWD, 80% of cases showed a departure of less than 20% from the average VIll:C peak level calculated after the two infusions. A similarly consistent pattern was observed for bleeding times recorded 30 minutes after

متن کاملTreatment of acquired von Willebrand syndrome in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance: comparison of three different therapeutic approaches.
Patients with monoclonal gammopathies of uncertain significance (MGUS) may develop an acquired bleeding disorder similar to congenital von Willebrand disease, called acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AvWS). In these patients, measures to improve hemostasis are required to prevent or treat bleeding episodes. We diagnosed 10 patients with MGUS and AvWS: 8 had IgGkappa (3) or lambda (5) MGUS and 2...

Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, caused by a deficiency or abnormality of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF). The mainstays of treatment are therapy with Desmopressin (DDAVP) and replacement therapy with Factor VIII-containing VWF product (FVIII/VWF). Therapy with FVIII/VWF can be administered as Long-term prophylaxis (LTP) in the more severe forms of th...
متن کاملMultimeric composition of factor VIII/von Willebrand factor following administration of DDAVP: implications for pathophysiology and therapy of von Willebrand's disease subtypes.
We have studied the modifications in the multimeric composition of plasma factor VIII/von Willebrand factor and the bleeding time response following administration of 1-Deamino-[8-D-arginine]-Vasopressin (DDAVP) to patients with different subtypes of von Willebrand's disease. In type I, all multimers were present in plasma in the resting state, though they were decreased in concentration. Admin...
