" Found this on Heparin, but your doctor is aware of your hep c??? if not he should.

Gastrointestinal conditions: People with ulcerative colitis or tubes draining the stomach or small intestine should not use heparin unless the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.

Liver or kidney disorder: Heparin should be used with caution by people with liver or kidney disorders. "
