AB The  condition  known  as  von  Willebrand  disease  (vWD)  is  a  result  of  quantitative  and  qualitative  abnormalities  in  von  Willebrand  factor  (vWF),  a  plasma  protein  serving  as  a  carrier  for  factor  VIII  and  as  an  adhesive  link  between  platelets  and  damaged  blood  vessel  walls.  Table  80–1  presents  the  nomenclature  used  in  discussing  the  functions  of  vWF.  vWD  is  the  most  common  inherited  bleeding  disorder  of  humans.
