	Von Willebrand Disease: Encyclopedia of Children's Health
		VWD is usually a relatively mild disorder characterized by easy bruising, recurrent nosebleeds, heavy menstrual periods, and extended bleeding after surgeries and invasive dental work.
		A child with VWD may exhibit a range of symptoms over the course of his or her lifetime and may experience an improvement in symptoms with age.
		VWD should be suspected in any child with a normal number of platelets in the blood and bleeding from the mucous membranes such as the nose, gums, and gastrointestinal tract.

	Q&A - Ask Dr Mike
		If there is an increase in reticulocyte numbers then the anemia is referred to as "regenerative anemia".
		This is seen in severe blood loss after the body has time to respond, in tick borne diseases, in immune mediated hemolytic anemia and in chronic low level blood loss in some dogs (as might occur with VWD).
		You have to manipulate the numbers some to come up with an idea of the meaning of the reticuloycte count.
