When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Heparin can suppress adrenal secretion of aldosterone and cause hyperkalemia, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, preexisting metabolic acidosis, or elevated serum potassium levels. The risk of hyperkalemia appears to increase with duration of therapy, but is usually reversible. Therapy with heparin should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting hyperkalemia or risk factors for hyperkalemia. Serum potassium should be measured before initiating treatment and also during treatment, especially if heparin is given for longer than 7 days.
