Clotting Defect in people with <strong>von</strong> <strong>Willebrand</strong><br />
<strong>Disease</strong><br />
• The platelets do not stick together as well to form the platelet<br />
plug<br />
• The fibrin stands needed to strengthen the platelet plug are not<br />
as strong because there is less factor 8 at the site of the injury.<br />
(one of the clotting factors needed to help make the fibrin<br />
strands)
