High levels of von Willebrand factor with reduced specific activities in hospitalized patients with or without COVID-19

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is often accompanied by severe respiratory illness and thrombotic complications. Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) levels are highly elevated in this condition. However, limited data are available on the qualitative activity of VWF in COVID-19. We measured plasma VWF levels quantitatively (VWF antigen) and qualitatively (ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination, glycoprotein IbM (GPIbM) binding, and collagen binding). Consistent with prior reports, VWF antigen levels were significantly elevate… Show more

“…Moreover, patients receiving haemodialysis with severe COVID-19 had significantly higher vWf plasma levels [42]. All studies agree that thrombin formation via the intrinsic coagulation pathway and vWf reflect disease severity and poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients [164][165][166][167].…”

“…In addition to the pulmonary disease, patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 may also develop neurologic, renal, and cardiac complications [ 9 ]. These complications may be due to the pathologic activation of the coagulation [ 10 , 11 , 12 ] and inflammatory systems [ 13 , 14 ]; therefore, preventing infection through vaccination as well as limiting viral replication once infected are paramount to stop the spread of disease.…”
