Von willebrands disease?!


Question:

Von willebrands disease?

I have von willebrands disease. Can i donate blood to the red cross?


Answers:

My initial thought was 'no' since it's a clotting disease. I'm not sure if it's considered a sub-type of hemophelia, but since you cannot donate if you have hemophelia, for your own safety I would assume you should not donate.

You might want to contact your local red cross office to find out for sure.
