My Son Lab Work Came Back.What Is The Significance Of Dropping From 27% Factor For VW To 17% On Lab Work? Mine Has Never Went Below 27%

A MyHemophiliaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Plant City, FL

Can Wilabrands runs in my family with levels around 27% with the exception of my uncle who had less than 1%. No one in my family, including myself, who have levels normally at 27% have had a decrease like this. On occasion our levels have risen. So I am a little out of my element. What does this mean and what could have caused it? I haven't gotten in touch with his HTC Dr yet but spoke to the nurse. Is there anything I should be concerned with and bring up with her also? Thank you

Thanks Tony. This is just out of my element. I have plenty of family who have had it gotten higher but not drop. I was told it could fluctuate even with my hematologist but it's never dropped below 27% with anyone other that my uncle who had less than 1%
