DDAVP infusion in five patients with type Ia glycogen storage disease and associated correction of prolonged bleeding times.

Five patients with glycogen storage disease type I (GSD-I) were evaluated for a bleeding diathesis and subsequently were given an infusion of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP). Although platelet counts were normal or slightly elevated, the baseline template bleeding times were prolonged in four of the patients. Prothrombin times and activated partial thromboplastin times were normal, while ADP- and epinephrine-induced platelet aggregations were absent in the three patients tested. Ristocetin- and collagen-induced platelet aggregations were abnormal. Laurell and immunoradiometric determinations of the factor VIII-related antigen (vWf antigen) were decreased. Glyoxyl agarose gel electrophoresis of the patients' plasma revealed abnormal multimer patterns in four of the five patients. After the DDAVP infusion the platelet aggregation abnormalities persisted; however, the bleeding time and the von Willebrand antigen and activity corrected. We conclude that GSD-Ia patients may have a metabolically acquired form of von Willebrand's syndrome as well as an acquired intrinsic platelet defect, and that DDAVP may be useful in the management of bleeding in these patients.
