In this study we analyzed the quality and quantity of the structure of vWF by using mulitmer gel electrophoresis and also evaluated VWF functional activities, including platelet glycoprotein I β binding (VWF:Act LIA) and Factor VIII activity, to assess for acquired vWD (aVWD) with commercially available methods that are used in clinical practice and previously validated in congenital vWD.
