Hi

I am a worried mom. My child was sent for Von Willebrand testing after seeing a Pediatrician. He doesn't seem to have any symptoms of it except maybe some nose bleeds which we are able to stop within 15 to 20 minutes and except for a couple incidents that took about half an hour for it to stop. His nose bleeds happened when he was about 3 but since then he barely had it and during the last nose bleed he had (because his brother kicked him in the nose by accident) which was a month ago it stopped bleeding within 15 minutes. We got these test results back and not even sure what to make if it. I am worried sick. The ristocetin cofactor is 0.57 (normal range is 0.6-2.00 U/ml), Factor VIII is 0.56 (normal range is 0.5-1.50 U/ml) and the Von Willebrand Factor AG is 0.65 (normal range is 0.5-1.45) U/ml.

Can i get some help please.

thanks
