MONITOR: The concomitant use of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and heparin or low molecular weight heparins may increase the risk of hyperkalemia. Both ACE inhibitors and some heparins individually have been associated with increased potassium levels or hyperkalemia. Patients with renal impairment, diabetes, old age, and severe or worsening heart failure may be at a greater risk.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if ACE inhibitors are used with heparin or low molecular weight heparin. Serum potassium and renal function should be checked regularly.
