title: [Von Willebrand factor activity and thrombophilic states. A review (author's transl)].
abstract: After a brief survey of some physiologic properties of Von Willebrand factor activity (VIII r WF) the numerous clinical states with an increase of this activity are described. The authors report their own results concerning sepsis, chronic arteritis of lower limbs, diabetes, toxemia of pregnancy. In most cases the increase of VIII r WF activity appears as a sign of vascular injury and/or the consequence of tissular damage.
