Prevalence of acquired von Willebrand syndrome during the course of essential thrombocythemia - retrospective analysis of 170 consecutive cases.

Conclusions Even every fifth patient with ET may develop AVWS. Young age at diagnosis of ET and poor response to its previous treatment are potential risk factors of AVWS that should be considered during management of the primary condition. Sings of bleeding disorder observed in a person with ET necessitate evaluation for AVWS irrespective of platelet count. PMID: 26658493 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
