-==Contraindications==
-Heparin sodium should not be used in patients:
-* With severe [[thrombocytopenia]];
-* In whom suitable blood-coagulation tests (the whole-blood clotting time, [[partial thromboplastin time]], etc.) cannot be performed at appropriate intervals (this contraindication refers to full-dose Heparin; there is usually no need to monitor coagulation parameters in patients receiving low-dose Heparin);
-* With an uncontrollable active bleeding state, except when this is due to [[disseminated intravascular coagulation]].
