Hi. Fall in Hb level is not an adverse effect of heparin, unless there is bleeding due to some reason like an ulcer. So we cannot attribute it to heparin, unless we find a cause for a drop in hemoglobin. Moreover, a drop in two cell lines, anemia(Hb) and thrombocytopenia(Platelet) would suggest a cause like megaloblastic anemia(B12 or folate deficiency) or HELP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated liver enzymes, low platelets). These are more relevant considerations than heparin. The basic cause should be treated to help improve the Hb. Hope I have answered your query. Thank you.
