Plasma antithrombin activity was measured using an amidolytic method (substrate Chromozym TH) and a clotting method. The mean antithrombin values found in 76 hospital outpatients were 9.4 .mu.mol/min per ml with the amidolytic procedure and 100.1% of antithrombin activity with the clotting procedure. The 2 methods correlated fairly well (r [correlatin coefficient] = 0.85, P < 0.01) and showed satisfactory reproducibility. Coefficients of variation of 5.9 and 8.8% were obtained, respectively, with the amidolytic and the clotting procedures. With very high levels of fibrinogen degradation products, falsely elevated antithrombin activity levels were observed wtih the clotting procedure but the amidolytic method is essentially unaffected. Both methods are suitable for determining antithrombin activity but a well-standardized amidolytic procedure has advantages.
