Failure of warfarin to prevent new thrombotic processes was observed in three patients with very low free protein S concentrations and high C4b-binding protein (C4bBP) concentrations, and in one patient with hereditary protein S deficiency. We suggest that an increase in C4bBP reduces the free Protein S level, and warfarin treatment causes an additional decrease of free protein S. The four patients presented indicate that such reductions are of clinical importance. Heparin seems preferable as an anticoagulant in this situation, as warfarin given alone is ineffective, or may even be harmful. In a group of pancreatic cancer patients with advanced disease, subnormal mean free protein S was found, whereas mean total protein S concentration, and mean C4bBP concentrations were significantly higher (p
