Copeptin under glucagon stimulation [PDF]
Stimulation of growth hormone (GH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by glucagon is a standard procedure to assess pituitary dysfunction but the pathomechanism of glucagon action remains unclear. As arginine vasopressin (AVP) may act on the release of both, GH and ACTH, we tested here the role of AVP in GST by measuring a stable ...

Copeptin in the Differential Diagnosis of Hyponatremia [PDF]
AbstractBackground: Treatment of patients with hyponatremia varies widely; thus, convenient diagnostic parameters are needed to guide the correct treatment strategy. This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of copeptin, the C-terminal part of provasopressin, as a new marker in the differential diagnosis of hyponatremia.Methods: In ...

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is upregulated in dogs with cardiac disease. However, measurement of ADH is impractical in a clinical setting. Copeptin is co-secreted with ADH, making it a potential biomarker of ADH secretion.

Elevated copeptin, a surrogate marker of vasopressin, is linked to low water intake and increased diabetes risk. Water supplementation in habitual low-drinkers with high copeptin significantly lowers both fasting plasma (fp) copeptin and glucose.

The hormone vasopressin is essential for the human body. Vasopressin’s ability to preserve water, by decreasing urine production by the kidneys, is vital to maintain homeostasis. In addition to this well-known effect, vasopressin is implicated to have widespread effects on various other regulatory processes.

Copeptin predicts coronary artery disease cardiovascular and total mortality.
In a middle-aged population, it was recently shown that the stable vasopressin marker plasma copeptin (copeptin) predicts development of diabetes mellitus, diabetic heart disease and death.

Copeptin is independently associated with vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease stage 5
Background Vascular calcification (VC) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) present in 30–70% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
