Laboratory investigation of type IIB VWD may be indicated if there is a history of bleeding or family history of thrombocytopenia or if therapy for ITP is ineffective. First-tier tests will include VWF activity (VWF:RCo) and antigen, ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation, and multimeric analysis of VWF.
