Copeptin, a stable and easy-to-measure surrogate marker of AVP, has excellent potential in the diagnosis, differentiation and prognosis of diseases related to fluid disorders and stress.
Copeptin, a glycosylated peptide of 39 amino acids, is the C-terminal segment of arginine vasopressin (AVP) precursor peptide, which is consisted of two other fragments, vasopressin and neurophysin II. The main physiological functions of AVP are fluid and osmotic balance, cardiovascular homeostasis and regulation of the endocrine stress response. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the endogenous AVP in plasma is a meaningful biomarker to guide diagnosis and therapy of diseases associated with fluids disorders and stress. However, due to its instability, short half-time life in circulation and lack of readily available AVP assays, clinical measurement of AVP is restricted. In contrast to AVP, copeptin which is released in an equimolar mode with AVP from the pituitary, has emerged as a stable and simple-to-measure surrogate marker of AVP and displays excellent potential in diagnosis, differentiation and prognosis of various diseases. This review will discuss the studies on the clinical value of copeptin in different diseases, especially in AVP-dependent fluids disorders, as well as issues and prospects of the application of this potential biomarker.
