Von Willebrand and Desmopressin

"von Willebrand treatment is Desmopressin"....

This what we all learned in the Med school,
this statement passover important facts in von Willebrand disease.vonWillebrand disorder has many subtypes and some of these subgroups respond to Desmopressin different than we repeat  for long years..

Now it is the time to change the starting statment...

"Von Willebrand type 1 treatment is Desmopressin"
