We investigated the effect of heparin on urinary albumin excretion in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 39 patients with persistent urinary albumin excretion of 30-300 mg/24 h were randomly treated for 3 months with subcutaneous injections twice daily of isotonic saline, 5000 IU unfractionated heparin, or 2000 anti-Xa IU low-molecular-weight heparin. Unfractionated and low-molecular-weight heparin induced a significant reduction in urinary albumin excretion (p = 0.04 and p = 0.004). The mechanism and clinical relevance is unknown but deserve further attention.
