Saleh Shamse Basha Shared New Interesting Clinical Case With Recurrent Nosebleeds and Prolonged Bleeding After Dental Extractions

Saleh Shamse Basha, Senior Hematology Technologist and Hematology and Coagulation Specialist, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Clinical Case | Factor VIII & VWF:

A 25-year-old woman presents with recurrent nosebleeds and prolonged bleeding after dental extractions.
Lab results show:

  • VWF activity: 35% (↓)
  • VWF antigen: 38% (↓)
  • Factor VIII: 42% (↓)

Interpretation:

The parallel reduction in VWF activity, antigen, and Factor VIII suggests Type 1 von Willebrand Disease (vWD) — a quantitative deficiency of VWF leading to secondary reduction of FVIII.

Always interpret FVIII in context with VWF assays — isolated FVIII deficiency points toward Hemophilia A, while combined low VWF & FVIII levels indicate vWD.”
