The serum protein binding and elimination kinetics of warfarin were determined in 31 patients with cardiovascular disease who were taking warfarin regularly. The free fraction of warfarin in the serum ranged from 0.00436 to 0.0189, indicating 98.11% to 99.56% protein binding. There was no apparent relationship between the extent of protein binding of warfarin and the concentration of albumin or total protein in the serum. The estimated total body clearance of warfarin in the patients ranged from 1.16 to 4.35 ml/hr/kg of body weight and correlated significantly with the free fraction of warfarin in serum. This correlation has been predicted on theoretical grounds and shows that serum protein binding is a major determinant of the elimination kinetics of warfarin in man and an important cause of interindividual variations in its body clearance. The inter individual variation of free warfarin concentrations in the serum of patients with similar prothrombin times was somewhat smaller than the variations in total serum‐warfarin concentrations and in the daily dose of warfarin. There was no correlation between prothrombin time and the concentration of free warfarin in serum, indicating that variables other than protein binding also affect the anticoagulant response of patients.
