What is VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR (VWF) ANTIGEN?

The Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) Antigen test measures the amount of Von Willebrand factor protein present in your blood. This protein is essential for proper blood clotting and helps platelets stick together and to the blood vessel walls during an injury.

Why is this test important?

This test is primarily used to diagnose Von Willebrand Disease (VWD), a common inherited bleeding disorder, by determining if there's enough VWF protein. Low levels can indicate a higher risk of excessive bleeding, while high levels might be associated with an increased risk of blood clots.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. Inform your doctor about any medications, especially blood thinners, you are taking.
