  • Title: Acquired von Willebrand disease in twins with autoimmune hypothyroidism: response to desmopressin and L-thyroxine therapy.
    Author: Bruggers CS, McElligott K, Rallison ML.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1994 Dec; 125(6 Pt 1):911-3. PubMed ID: 7996364.
    Abstract:
    Because of menorrhagia, a 13-year-old girl was found to have type I von Willebrand disease and then chronic autoimmune thyroiditis with hypothyroidism. All clinical and laboratory evidence of von Willebrand disease resolved transiently after infusion of desmopressin, and permanently with L-thyroxine therapy. We recommend investigation for hypothyroidism in patients with newly diagnosed acquired von Willebrand disease.
