Abstract
OBJECTIVE Copeptin, which is the C-terminal glycopeptide of the provasopressin (pro-AVP), is released into the circulation in an equimolar manner with arginine vasopressin (AVP) when fluid homeostasis changes or have somatic stress. Copeptin is considered to be a potential alternative to AVP due to its advantages in facilitating assays. Although there have been a number of studies and reviews that have focused on marker potential of copeptin in diseases involving changes in AVP, the study of its characteristics and factors that may influence its secretion have not been reviewed before. METHODS We summarized the influencing factors associated with copeptin levels in healthy and disease states, showed the changes in copeptin levels under different physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions, calculated the changes in copeptin levels under different physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions and compared them according to the type of stimuli. We also report research advances in copeptin changes in the diagnosis and prognosis of endocrine-related diseases. RESULTS Males have higher copeptin levels. Decreased copeptin levels are mainly caused by reduced blood decrease and some diseases (e.g. obesity). In normal physiological conditions, the effect of stress, endocrine axis stimulation and blood volume increase on copeptin levels gradually increased. In severe disease conditions (e.g. sepsis), copeptin would remain at consistently high levels under compound stimuli and these elevated levels are associated with poor prognosis of disease. CONCLUSIONS Summarizing the influencing factors of copeptin can help us better understand the biological features of copeptin and the similarities and differences between AVP and copeptin.

Choy KW, Wijeratne N, Chiang C, Don-Wauchope A. Copeptin as a surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin: analytical insights, current utility, and emerging applications. Crit Rev Clin Lab Sci 2024:1-21. [PMID: 39086073 DOI: 10.1080/10408363.2024.2383899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
Copeptin is a 39-amino-acid long glycosylated peptide with a leucine-rich core segment in the C-terminal part of pre-pro-vasopressin. It exhibits a rapid response comparable to arginine vasopressin (AVP) in response to osmotic, hemodynamic, and nonspecific stress-related stimuli. This similarity can be attributed to equimolar production of copeptin alongside AVP. However, there are markedly different decay kinetics for both peptides, with an estimated initial half-life of copeptin being approximately two times longer than that of AVP. Like AVP, copeptin correlates strongly over a wide osmolality range in healthy individuals, making it a useful alternative to AVP measurement. While copeptin does not appear to be significantly affected by food intake, small amounts of oral fluid intake may result in a significant decrease in copeptin levels. Compared to AVP, copeptin is considerably more stable in vitro. An automated immunofluorescent assay is now available and has been used in recent landmark trials. However, separate validation studies are required before copeptin thresholds from these studies are applied to other assays. The biological variation of copeptin in presumably healthy subjects has been recently reported, which could assist in defining analytical performance specifications for this measurand. An established diagnostic utility of copeptin is in the investigation of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome and copeptin-based testing protocols have been explored in recent years. A single baseline plasma copeptin >21.4 pmol/L differentiates AVP resistance (formerly known as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus) from other causes with 100% sensitivity and specificity, rendering water deprivation testing unnecessary in such cases. In a recent study among adult patients with polyuria-polydipsia syndrome, AVP deficiency (formerly known as central diabetes insipidus) was more accurately diagnosed with hypertonic saline-stimulated copeptin than with arginine-stimulated copeptin. Glucagon-stimulated copeptin has been proposed as a potentially safe and precise test in the investigation of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome. Furthermore, copeptin could reliably identify those with AVP deficiency among patients with severe hypernatremia, though its diagnostic utility is reportedly limited in the differential diagnosis of profound hyponatremia. Copeptin measurement may be a useful tool for early goal-directed management of post-operative AVP deficiency. Additionally, the potential prognostic utility of copeptin has been explored in other diseases. There is an interest in examining the role of the AVP system (with copeptin as a marker) in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Copeptin has been found to be independently associated with an increased risk of incident stroke and cardiovascular disease mortality in men with diabetes mellitus. Increased levels of copeptin have been reported to be independently predictive of a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate and a greater risk of new-onset chronic kidney disease. Furthermore, copeptin is associated with disease severity in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Copeptin predicts the development of coronary artery disease and cardiovascular mortality in the older population. Moreover, the predictive value of copeptin was found to be comparable with that of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide for all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure. Whether the measurement of copeptin in these conditions alters clinical management remains to be demonstrated in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of renal function and of factors associated with its decline are important public health issues. Besides markers of glomerular function [e.g. glomerular filtration rate (GFR)], those of tubular functions are rarely evaluated. Urea, the most abundant urinary solute, is markedly concentrated in urine when compared with plasma. We explored the urine-to-plasma ratio of urea concentrations (U/P urea ratio) as a marker of tubular functions. METHODS We evaluated the relationship of the U/P urea ratio with eGFR at baseline in 1043 participants (48 ± 17 years) from the Swiss Kidney Project on Genes in Hypertension (SKIPOGH) population-based cohort, using mixed regression. In 898 participants, we assessed the relation between U/P urea ratio and renal function decline between two study waves 3 years apart. We studied U/P ratios for osmolarity, Na, K and uric acid for comparison. RESULTS In a transversal study at baseline, estimated GFR (eGFR) was positively associated with U/P-urea ratio [βscaled = 0.08, 95% CI (0.04; 0.13)] but not with the U/P ratio of osmolarity. Considering separately participants with renal function >90 or ≤90 mL/min × 1.73 m2, this association was observed only in those with reduced renal function. In the longitudinal study, eGFR declined at a mean rate of 1.2 mL/min per year. A significant association was observed between baseline U/P urea ratio and eGFR decline [βscaled = 0.08, 95% CI (0.01; 0.15)]. A lower baseline U/P urea ratio was associated with a greater eGFR decline. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that the U/P urea ratio is an early marker of kidney function decline in the general adult population. Urea is easy to measure with well-standardized techniques and at low cost. Thus, the U/P urea ratio could become an easily available tubular marker for evaluating renal function decline.

Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1274435. [PMID: 38027263 PMCID: PMC10667601 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1274435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease. In spite of the recent tremendous progress in the understanding of ADPKD pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain incompletely understood. Considering emerging new targeted therapies for ADPKD, it has become crucial to disclose easily measurable and widely available biomarkers for identifying patients with future rapid disease progression. This review encompasses all the research with a shared goal of identifying promising serum or urine biomarkers for predicting ADPKD progression or response to therapy. The rate of the ADPKD progress varies significantly between patients. The phenotypic variability is only partly explained by the underlying genetic lesion diversity. Considering significant decline in kidney function in ADPKD is not usually evident until at least 50% of the parenchyma has been destroyed, conventional kidney function measures, such as glomerular filtration rate (GFR), are not suitable for monitoring disease progression in ADPKD, particularly in its early stages. Since polycystic kidney enlargement usually precedes the decline in GFR, height-adjusted total kidney volume (ht-TKV) has been accepted as an early biomarker for assessing disease severity in ADPKD patients. However, since measuring ht-TKV is time-consuming and observer-dependent, the identification of a sensitive and quickly measurable biomarker is of a great interest for everyday clinical practice. Throughout the last decade, due to development of proteomic and metabolomic techniques and the enlightenment of multiple molecular pathways involved in the ADPKD pathogenesis, a number of urine and serum protein biomarkers have been investigated in ADPKD patients, some of which seem worth of further exploring. These include copeptin, angiotensinogen, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, kidney injury molecule-1 and urine-to-plasma urea ratio among many others. The aim of the current review is to provide an overview of all of the published evidence on potentially clinically valuable serum and urine biomarkers that could be used for predicting disease progression or response to therapy in patients with ADPKD. Hopefully, this review will encourage future longitudinal prospective clinical studies evaluating proposed biomarkers as prognostic tools to improve management and outcome of ADPKD patients in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
Background The identification of new biomarkers in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is crucial to improve and simplify prognostic assessment as a basis for patient selection for targeted therapies. Post hoc analyses of the TEMPO 3:4 study indicated that copeptin could be one of those biomarkers. Methods Copeptin was tested in serum samples from patients of the AD(H)PKD study. Serum copeptin levels were measured using a time-resolved amplified cryptate emission (TRACE)-based assay. In total, we collected 711 values from 389 patients without tolvaptan treatment and a total of 243 values (of which 64 were pre-tolvaptan) from 94 patients on tolvaptan. These were associated with rapid progression and disease-causing gene variants and their predictive capacity tested and compared with the Mayo Classification. Results As expected, copeptin levels showed a significant negative correlation with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Measurements on tolvaptan showed significantly higher copeptin levels (9.871 pmol/L vs 23.90 pmol/L at 90/30 mg; P < .0001) in all chronic kidney disease stages. Linear regression models (n = 133) show that copeptin is an independent predictor of eGFR slope. A clinical model (including eGFR, age, gender, copeptin) was nearly as good (R2 = 0.1196) as our optimal model (including height-adjusted total kidney volume, eGFR, copeptin, R2 = 0.1256). Adding copeptin to the Mayo model improved future eGFR estimation. Conclusion Copeptin levels are associated with kidney function and independently explained future eGFR slopes. As expected, treatment with tolvaptan strongly increases copeptin levels.

Abstract
Copeptin is a 39-amino acid glycopeptide that is secreted equimolecularly with arginine-vasopressin (AVP) from the prepro-hormone AVP in the posterior pituitary. While AVP is a very unstable molecule and is accompanied by significant technical troubles in its quantification, copeptin is a stable and easily quantifiable molecule. For this reason, circulating copeptin is currently used as a surrogate for AVP in different pathological conditions, including renal diseases. In recent years it has been shown that copeptin is associated with an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease in the general population. In addition, copeptin has also been associated with multiple renal diseases with relevant clinical consequences and potential therapeutic implications. In the present review, we update and summarize the clinical significance of copeptin as a surrogate marker for AVP concentrations in different kidney diseases, as well as in renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) and renal transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Arginine vasopressin promotes kidney cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Increased water intake reduces arginine vasopressin and urine osmolality and may slow kidney cyst growth. METHODS: In this randomized controlled 3-year clinical trial, we randomly assigned adults with ADPKD who had a height-corrected total kidney volume in Mayo imaging subclass categories 1B to 1E and an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or greater to (1) water intake prescribed to reduce 24-hour urine osmolality to 270 mOsmol/kg or less or (2) ad libitum water intake irrespective of 24-hour urine osmolality. The primary end point was the percentage annualized rate of change in height-corrected total kidney volume. RESULTS: A total of 184 patients participated in either the ad libitum water intake group (n=92) or the prescribed water intake group (n=92). Over 3 years, there was no difference in the annualized rate of change in height-corrected total kidney volume between the ad libitum (7.8% per year; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.6 to 9.0) and prescribed (6.8% per year; 95% CI, 5.8 to 7.7) water intake groups (mean difference, −0.97% per year; 95% CI, −2.37 to 0.44; P=0.18). The difference in mean 24-hour urine osmolality between the ad libitum and prescribed water intake groups was −91 mOsmol/kg (95% CI, −127 to −54 mOsmol/kg), with 52.3% of patients achieving adherence to the target 24-hour urine osmolality and no reduction in serum copeptin over 3 years. The frequency of adverse events was similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with ADPKD, prescribed water intake was not associated with excess adverse events and achieved the target 24-hour urine osmolality for half of the patients but did not reduce copeptin or slow the growth of total kidney volume over 3 years compared with ad libitum water intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tolvaptan is the first effective drug treatment for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients, but few long-term observations of the effects of tolvaptan have been reported. METHODS In this single center, retrospective cohort study, we investigated nine patients who participated in a phase 3 trial of tolvaptan for ADPKD patients at our hospital between 2008 and 2014. Six of the patients discontinued tolvaptan at the end of the clinical trial and were defined as the discontinuation group, and three continued to take it; these were defined as the continuation group. The observation period was 3 years before and after the end of the tolvaptan trial, and we compared the following data in each group: serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), total kidney volume, serum sodium concentration, and urine specific gravity. RESULTS eGFR was significantly improved after the end of the trial in the continuation group (P = 0.0446), but there was no significant change in the regression line before and after the end of the trial in the discontinuation group. The increases in mean total kidney volume rates over the 3 years before and after the trial were 0.01 %/year vs. 0.067 %/year in the discontinuation group (P = 0.0247). On the other hand, serum sodium concentration and urine specific gravity showed no change during the observation period. CONCLUSION This study suggested that long-term administration of tolvaptan may improve renal function and inhibit total kidney volume growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Predicting disease progression in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) poses a challenge, especially in early-stage disease when kidney function is not yet affected. Ongoing growth of cysts causes maximal urine-concentrating capacity to decrease from early on. We therefore hypothesized that the urine-to-plasma urea ratio, as a reflection of the urine-concentrating capacity, can be used as a marker to predict ADPKD progression. DESIGN The urine-to-plasma urea ratio was calculated by dividing concentrations of early morning fasting spot urine urea by plasma urea. First, this ratio was validated as surrogate marker in 30 patients with ADPKD who underwent a prolonged water deprivation test. Thereafter, association with kidney outcome was evaluated in 583 patients with ADPKD with a broad range of kidney function. Multivariable mixed-model regression was used to assess association with eGFR slope, and logarithmic regression to identify patients with rapidly progressive disease, using a cutoff of -3.0 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year. The urine-to-plasma urea ratio was compared with established predictors, namely, sex, age, baseline eGFR, Mayo Clinic height-adjusted total kidney volume class, and PKD gene mutation. RESULTS The maximal urine-concentrating capacity and urine-to-plasma urea ratio correlated strongly (R=0.90; P<0.001). Next, the urine-to-plasma urea ratio was significantly associated with rate of eGFR decline during a median follow-up of 4.0 (interquartile range, 2.6-5.0) years, both crude and after correction for established predictors (β=0.58; P=0.02). The odds ratio of rapidly progressive disease was 1.35 (95% confidence interval, 1.19 to 1.52; P<0.001) for every 10 units decrease in urine-to-plasma urea ratio, with adjustment for predictors. A combined risk score of the urine-to-plasma urea ratio, Mayo Clinic height-adjusted total kidney volume class, and PKD mutation predicted rapidly progressive disease better than each of the predictors separately. CONCLUSIONS The urine-to-plasma urea ratio, which is calculated from routine laboratory measurements, predicts disease progression in ADPKD in addition to other risk markers.

Abstract
Direct measurement of the nonapeptide vasopressin has been limited by analyte instability ex vivo and in vivo rapid degradation, low serum concentrations requiring a sensitive assay and inherent secretory pulsatility. Copeptin is a 39 amino acid glycopeptide cleavage product of vasopressin synthesis with high stability, providing a marker of vasopressin secretion. Copeptin measurement has applications in diagnosis of diabetes insipidus and other diseases with altered vasopressin secretion. This review summarises our current understanding of serum copeptin measurement in diabetes insipidus and possible future applications of copeptin assays. As vasopressin is a stress hormone, there is emerging evidence on the use of copeptin for diagnosis and prognostication of disorders such as syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion, diabetes mellitus, critical illness, stroke, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, renal disease and thermal stress. Copeptin concentration measurement is likely to improve the diagnostic reliability of diabetes insipidus and, as a marker of stress, may have diagnostic or prognostic utility in specific clinical circumstances. Further studies are needed to determine if goal-directed therapy using plasma copeptin concentrations may improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of renal disease progression in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) involves not only cystogenesis but also endothelial dysfunction, leading to the activation of inflammatory and fibrotic pathways. This study evaluated the levels of biomarkers related to osmoregulation, immune system activation, and tubular injury in ADPKD patients with impaired or preserved renal function. METHODS This study included 26 ADPKD patients with modestly impaired renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 45-70 mL/min/1.73 m2; Group A), 26 age- and sex-matched ADPKD patients with relatively preserved renal function (eGFR >70 mL/min/1.73 m2; Group B), and 26 age- and sex-matched controls (Group C). Serum levels of copeptin, the inflammasome nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptors pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) were measured with ELISA techniques. RESULTS Patients in Group A had higher levels of copeptin (median [interquartile range]: 50.44 [334.85] pg/mL), NLRP3 (5.86 [3.89] ng/mL), and suPAR (390.05 [476.53] pg/mL) compared to patients in Group B (32.38 [58.33], p = 0.042; 2.42 [1.96], p < 0.001; and 313.78 [178.85], p = 0.035, respectively) and Group C (6.75 [6.43]; 1.09 [0.56]; and 198.30 [28.53], respectively; p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Levels of all studied markers were also significantly higher in Group B patients compared to controls (p < 0.001), despite having similar eGFR. In patients with ADPKD, all studied biomarkers were correlated positively with asymmetric-dimethylarginine (ADMA) and endocan levels, and negatively with eGFR. ADMA and endocan levels were the only parameters independently associated with increased copeptin levels. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that ADPKD patients with impaired and preserved renal function had higher copeptin, NLRP3, and suPAR levels than controls. Such findings support that cystogenesis and inflammation are associated with endothelial dysfunction, even in the early stages of ADKPD.

Abstract
Copeptin is a precursor for arginine vasopressin which is usually elevated in acute stress and cardiac emergencies. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an ideal plasticizing factor used in manufacturing of plastics and epoxy resins. To evaluate the cardio toxicity of bisphenol A and to assess copeptin as a cardio toxic diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in Wistar rats. Sixty Wistar rats were classified into three groups: group I, naive group received regular diet and water; group II, vehicle group administered corn oil; and group III, each rat received BPA daily with (30 mg/kg/day S.C). After 4 weeks, blood samples were collected for estimating serum copeptin levels. Then, the hearts were subjected to histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic examination. Cell suspensions from the hearts were examined to determine the extent of DNA damage by comet assay. Bisphenol A induced a significant increase in mean values of serum copeptin level, histopathological changes in the form of dilated congested blood vessels and extensive collagen fiber deposition in the myocardium. Ultrastructurally, disturbed indented nuclei, focal lysis of myofibrils, normal cross striations loss, mitochondrial swelling, and intercalated disks distortion were noticed. Immunohistochemical study showed a significant increase in TLR2 immunoreactions in the myocytes of BPA administered rats. In addition, comet assay showed that bisphenol A exposure produced DNA damage in cardiac cells. We concluded that bisphenol A has deleterious effects on cardiac tissues mean, while copeptin is a good diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Marathon runners develop transient AKI with urine sediments and injury biomarkers suggesting nephron damage. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS To investigate the etiology, we examined volume and thermoregulatory responses as possible mechanisms in runners' AKI using a prospective cohort of runners in the 2017 Hartford Marathon. Vitals, blood, and urine samples were collected in 23 runners 1 day premarathon and immediately and 1 day postmarathon. We measured copeptin at each time point. Continuous core body temperature, sweat sodium, and volume were assessed during the race. The primary outcome of interest was AKI, defined by AKIN criteria. RESULTS Runners ranged from 22 to 63 years old; 43% were men. Runners lost a median (range) of 2.34 (0.50-7.21) g of sodium and 2.47 (0.36-6.81) L of volume via sweat. After accounting for intake, they had a net negative sodium and volume balance at the end of the race. The majority of runners had increases in core body temperature to 38.4 (35.8-41)°C during the race from their baseline. Fifty-five percent of runners developed AKI, yet 74% had positive urine microscopy for acute tubular injury. Runners with more running experience and increased participation in prior marathons developed a rise in creatinine as compared with those with lesser experience. Sweat sodium losses were higher in runners with AKI versus non-AKI (median, 3.41 [interquartile range (IQR), 1.7-4.8] versus median, 1.4 [IQR, 0.97-2.8] g; P=0.06, respectively). Sweat volume losses were higher in runners with AKI versus non-AKI (median, 3.89 [IQR, 1.49-5.09] versus median, 1.66 [IQR, 0.72-2.84] L; P=0.03, respectively). Copeptin was significantly higher in runners with AKI versus those without (median, 79.9 [IQR, 25.2-104.4] versus median, 11.3 [IQR, 6.6-43.7]; P=0.02, respectively). Estimated temperature was not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS All runners experienced a substantial rise in copeptin and body temperature along with salt and water loss due to sweating. Sodium and volume loss via sweat as well as plasma copeptin concentrations were associated with AKI in runners.

Abstract
In the TEMPO 3:4 Trial, treatment with tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, slowed the increase in total kidney volume and decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We investigated whether plasma copeptin levels, a marker of plasma vasopressin, are associated with disease progression, and whether pre-treatment copeptin and treatment-induced change in copeptin are associated with tolvaptan treatment efficacy. This post hoc analysis included 1,280 TEMPO 3:4 participants (aged 18-50 years, estimated creatinine clearance ≥60 ml/min and total kidney volume ≥750 mL) who had plasma samples available at baseline for measurement of copeptin using an automated immunofluorescence assay. In placebo-treated subjects, baseline copeptin predicted kidney growth and eGFR decline over 3 years. These associations were independent of sex, age, and baseline eGFR, but were no longer statistically significant after additional adjustment for baseline total kidney volume. In tolvaptan-treated subjects, copeptin increased from baseline to week 3 (6.3 pmol/L versus 21.9 pmol/L, respectively). In tolvaptan-treated subjects with higher baseline copeptin levels, a larger treatment effect was noted with respect to kidney growth rate and eGFR decline. Tolvaptan-treated subjects with a larger percentage increase in copeptin from baseline to week 3 had a better disease outcome, with less kidney growth and eGFR decline after three years. Copeptin holds promise as a biomarker to predict outcome and tolvaptan treatment efficacy in ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common monogenic cause of ESKD, is characterized by relentless development of kidney cysts, hypertension, and destruction of the kidney parenchyma. Over the past few years, major advancements in diagnosing, prognosticating, and understanding the pathogenesis and natural course of the disease have been made. Currently, no kidney disease is more suitable for nephron-protective strategies. Early nephrology referral and implementation of these strategies may have a substantial effect. Total kidney volume is a good prognostication marker and allows stratification of patients into slow or rapid progressing disease, with implications for their management. Measurement of total kidney volume, disease stratification, and prognostication are possible using readily available tools. Although some patients require only monitoring and basic optimized kidney protective measures, such as rigorous BP control and various lifestyle and dietary changes, others will benefit from disease-modifying treatments. Vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists, a likely disease-modifying treatment, has been approved in several countries and recently by the US Food and Drug Administration; other therapies, such as somatostatin analogs and other novel agents, are currently in clinical trials. The purpose of this article is to present our views on the optimal management to delay kidney disease progression in ADPKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist tolvaptan is the only available treatment for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), but there are tolerability issues due to aquaretic side-effects such as polyuria. A possible strategy to ameliorate these side-effects may be addition of a thiazide diuretic, this is an established treatment in nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, a condition where vasopressin V2 receptor function is absent. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a 46-year-old male ADPKD-patient, who was prescribed tolvaptan, which caused polyuria of around 5 l per day. Hydrochlorothiazide was added to treat hypertension, which resulted in a marked decrease in urine production. While using tolvaptan, rate of eGFR decline was - 1.35 mL/min/1.73m2 per year, whereas after hydrochlorothiazide was initiated this was - 3.97 mL/minute/1.73m2 per year. CONCLUSIONS This case report indicates that while addition of hydrochlorothiazide may improve tolerability of vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists, co-prescription should only be used with great scrutiny as it may decrease tolvaptan effect on rate of ADPKD disease progression.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) encompasses a group of genetic disorders that are common causes of renal failure. The two classic forms of PKD are autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Despite their clinical differences, ARPKD and ADPKD share many similarities. Altered intracellular Ca2+ and increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations have repetitively been described as central anomalies that may alter signaling pathways leading to cyst formation. The vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) antagonist tolvaptan lowers cAMP in cystic tissues and slows renal cystic progression and kidney function decline when given over 3 years in adult ADPKD patients. Tolvaptan is currently approved for the treatment of rapidly progressive disease in adult ADPKD patients. On the occasion of the recent initiation of a clinical trial with tolvaptan in pediatric ADPKD patients, we aim to describe the most important aspects in the literature regarding the AVP-cAMP axis and the clinical use of tolvaptan in PKD.

Abstract
Plasma content of copeptin increases with the advancement of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate copeptin content as a potential marker of CKD, as a single pathology or with coexisting heart failure. Seventy-six patients were divided into the following groups: Group 1 (control), without CKD and heart failure; Group 2, CKD stage 3a; Group 3, CKD stage 3b; Group 4, CKD stage 4; Group 5, CKD stage 5; and Group 6, CKD stage 3b and heart failure. For all patients, plasma concentrations of copeptin, creatinine, urea, cystatin C, sodium, C-reactive protein (CRP), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and blood pH were assessed. We found that plasma content of creatinine, urea, CRP, cystatin, NT-proBNP, and copeptin increased with CKD progression. Heart failure in CKD patients was not the cause of an appreciable increase of copeptin level. Copeptin/creatinine, copeptin/cystatin C ratios, and especially copeptin/eGFR ratio enhanced copeptin prognostic sensitivity concerning renal failure in CKD, compared with copeptin alone. The copeptin×NT-proBNP ratio decreased along CKD progression, reaching a nadir in the accompanying heart failure. In contradistinction, copeptin×NT-proBNP/creatinine ratio increased along CKD progression, reaching a peak in the accompanying heart failure. We conclude that copeptin is an important marker in CKD, but not so concerning heart failure in the disease. A decrease in copeptin×NT-proBNP and an increase in copeptin×NT-proBNP/creatinine ratio are useful markers of cardiac function decline in CKD.

Abstract
Copeptin is derived from the cleavage of the precursor of arginine vasopressin (AVP), produced in an equimolar ratio in hypothalamus and processed during axonal transport AVP is an unstable peptide and has a short half-life of 5-20 min. Unlike AVP, copeptin is a stable molecule and can easily be measured. Recent evidence suggest that increased copeptin levels have been associated with worse outcomes in various clinical conditions including chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension. In this review, the data regarding copeptin with kidney function (evaluated as glomerular filtration rate, increased albumin/protein excretion or both) and hypertension with regard to performed studies, prognosis and pathogenesis was summarised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of vasopressin and/or urine concentration in various kidney, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases has been emphasized recently. Due to technical constraints, urine osmolality (Uosm), a direct reflect of urinary concentrating activity, is rarely measured in epidemiologic studies. METHODS We analyzed 2 possible surrogates of Uosm in 4 large population-based cohorts (total n = 4,247) and in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD, n = 146). An estimated Uosm (eUosm) based on the concentrations of sodium, potassium, and urea, and a urine concentrating index (UCI) based on the ratio of creatinine concentrations in urine and plasma were compared to the measured Uosm (mUosm). RESULTS eUosm is an excellent surrogate of mUosm, with a highly significant linear relationship and values within 5% of mUosm (r = 0.99 or 0.98 in each population cohort). Bland-Altman plots show a good agreement between eUosm and mUosm with mean differences between the 2 variables within ±24 mmol/L. This was verified in men and women, in day and night urine samples, and in CKD patients. The relationship of UCI with mUosm is also significant but is not linear and exhibits more dispersed values. Moreover, the latter index is no longer representative of mUosm in patients with CKD as it declines much more quickly with declining glomerular filtration rate than mUosm. CONCLUSION The eUosm is a valid marker of urine concentration in population-based and CKD cohorts. The UCI can provide an estimate of urine concentration when no other measurement is available, but should be used only in subjects with normal renal function.

The Effect of Renal Function and Hemodialysis Treatment on Plasma Vasopressin and Copeptin Levels. Kidney Int Rep 2017; 2:410-419.

Abstract
Introduction Copeptin is increasingly used in epidemiological studies as a substitute for vasopressin. The effect of renal function per se on copeptin and vasopressin concentrations as well as their ratio have, however, not been well described. Methods Copeptin and vasopressin levels were measured in 127 patients with various stages of chronic kidney disease, including 42 hemodialysis patients and 16 healthy participants in this observational study. Linear (segmental) regression analyses were performed to assess the association between renal function and copeptin, vasopressin and the C/V ratio. In addition, clearance of copeptin and vasopressin by hemodialysis was calculated. Results Both copeptin and vasopressin levels were higher when renal function was lower, and both showed associations with plasma osmolality. The C/V ratio was stable across renal function in subjects with an eGFR >28 ml/min per 1.73 m2. In contrast, the C/V ratio increased with worsening renal function in patients with eGFR ≤28 ml/min per 1.73 m2. During hemodialysis, the initial decrease in vasopressin levels was greater compared with copeptin and, consequently, the C/V ratio increased. This was, at least in part, explained by a greater dialytic clearance of vasopressin compared with copeptin. Discussion Our data indicate that copeptin is a reliable substitute for vasopressin in subjects with an eGFR >28 ml/min per 1.73 m2, whereas at an eGFR ≤28 ml/min per 1.73 m2, that is, CKD stages 4 and 5, a correction for renal function is required in epidemiological studies that use copeptin as a marker for vasopressin. Intradialytic copeptin levels do not adequately reflect vasopressin levels because vasopressin clearance by hemodialysis is higher than that of copeptin.

Abstract
Background Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients have an impaired urine concentrating capacity. Increased circulating vasopressin (AVP) concentrations are supposed to play a role in the progression of ADPKD. We hypothesized that ADPKD patients have a more severely impaired urine concentrating capacity in comparison to other patients with chronic kidney disease at a similar level of kidney function, with consequently an enhanced AVP response to water deprivation with higher circulating AVP concentrations. Methods 15 ADPKD (eGFR<60) patients and 15 age-, sex- and eGFR-matched controls with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), underwent a water deprivation test to determine maximal urine concentrating capacity. Plasma and urine osmolality, urine aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and plasma AVP and copeptin (a surrogate marker for AVP) were measured at baseline and after water deprivation (average 16 hours). In ADPKD patients, height adjusted total kidney volume (hTKV) was measured by MRI. Results Maximal achieved urine concentration was lower in ADPKD compared to IgAN controls (533±138 vs. 642±148 mOsm/kg, p = 0.046), with particularly a lower maximal achieved urine urea concentration (223±74 vs. 299±72 mmol/L, p = 0.008). After water deprivation, plasma osmolality was similar in both groups although change in plasma osmolality was more profound in ADPKD due to a lower baseline plasma osmolality in comparison to IgAN controls. Copeptin and AVP increased significantly in a similar way in both groups. AVP, copeptin and urine AQP2 were inversely associated with maximal urine concentrating in both groups. Conclusions ADPKD patients have a more severely impaired maximal urine concentrating capacity with a lower maximal achieved urine urea concentration in comparison to IgAN controls with similar endogenous copeptin and AVP responses.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries a large cardiovascular burden in part due to hypertension and neurohumoral dysfunction - manifesting as sympathetic overactivity, baroreflex dysfunction and chronically elevated circulating vasopressin. Alterations within the central nervous system (CNS) are necessary for the expression of neurohumoral dysfunction in CKD; however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly defined. Uraemic toxins are a diverse group of compounds that accumulate as a direct result of renal disease and drive dysfunction in multiple organs, including the brain. Intensive haemodialysis improves both sympathetic overactivity and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity in renal failure patients, indicating that uraemic toxins participate in the maintenance of autonomic dysfunction in CKD. In rodents exposed to uraemia, immediate early gene expression analysis suggests upregulated activity of not only pre-sympathetic but also vasopressin-secretory nuclei. We outline several potential mechanisms by which uraemia might drive neurohumoral dysfunction in CKD. These include superoxide-dependent effects on neural activity, depletion of nitric oxide and induction of low-grade systemic inflammation. Recent evidence has highlighted superoxide production as an intermediate for the depolarizing effect of some uraemic toxins on neuronal cells. We provide preliminary data indicating augmented superoxide production within the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in the Lewis polycystic kidney rat, which might be important for mediating the neurohumoral dysfunction exhibited in this CKD model. We speculate that the uraemic state might serve to sensitize the central actions of other sympathoexcitatory factors, including renal afferent nerve inputs to the CNS and angiotensin II, by way of recruiting convergent superoxide-dependent and pro-inflammatory pathways.

Abstract
Background In this study, we examined the relative usefulness of serum copeptin levels as a surrogate marker of vasopressin (AVP) in adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) by correlating it with baseline and longitudinal changes in markers of both renal function and common CVD manifestations (hypertensive vascular disease, atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction) that accompany the progression of this disease. Methods We studied a cohort of young and otherwise healthy ADPKD patients (n = 235) and measured cardiovascular function using flow-mediation dilatation (FMD), carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV), as well as serum copeptin (commercial ELISA, a stable marker of AVP activity). The same analyses were carried out at baseline and after 3 years of follow-up. Results At baseline, median eGFR was 69 mL/min./1.73 m2, mean FMD 6.9 ± 0.9%, cIMT 0.7 ± 0.1 mm, and PWV 8.1 ± 1.2 m/s. At follow-up, equivalent values were 65 (44–75) mL/min./1.73 m2, 5.8 ± 0.9%, 0.8 ± 0.1 mm. and 8.2 ± 1.3 m/s. with all changes statistically significant. Plasma copeptin also rose from 0.62 ± 0.12 to 0.94 ± 0.19 ng/mL and this change correlated with ΔeGFR (-0.33, p < 0.001), ΔFMD (0.599, p < 0.001), ΔcIMT (0.562, p < 0.001) and ΔPWV (0.27, p < 0.001) also after linear regression modeling to correct for confounders. Finally, ROC analysis was done for a high baseline copeptin with ΔeGFR [cut-off:≤59], ΔFMD [cut-off: ≤7.08], ΔcIMT [cut-off:>0.76], and ΔPWV [cut-off:≤7.80]. Conclusions Vascular dysfunction as reflected by FMD and cIMT, but not PWV or an altered cardiac geometry, precede most other signs of disease in ADPKD but is predicted by elevated levels of the circulating AVP-marker copeptin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim was to test if plasma copeptin, a stable surrogate marker of arginine vasopressin, predicts decline of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS We measured copeptin and renal function at the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort baseline exam and reassessed renal function after a follow-up time of 16.6 ± 1.5 years (n = 3,186). Furthermore, we defined CKD based on an estimated GFR (eGFR) calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) <60 (CKD_60MDRD), <45 (CKD_45MDRD) and <30 (CKD_30MDRD) ml/min/1.73 m2. RESULTS After multivariate adjustment (gender, age, baseline eGFR, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive treatment and follow-up time), copeptin (beta-coefficient per 1 SD increment of copeptin) was independently associated with significantly greater annual decline of eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m2) according to the MDRD formula (OR 0.057, 95% CI 0.022-0.093; p = 0.001) as well as according to the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula (OR 0.050, 95% CI 0.022-0.077; p < 0.001). Each SD increment of copeptin independently predicted incident CKD_60MDRD (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.04-1.36; p = 0.010), CKD_45MDRD (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.04-1.71; p = 0.026) and CKD_30MDRD (OR 3.69, 95% CI 1.41-9.66; p = 0.008). The relationship between copeptin and CKD defined by CKD-EPI gave similar results. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that increased levels of copeptin independently predict decline in eGFR and greater risk of new-onset CKD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease. This article will describe the factors associated with both functional and structural evidence of disease progression. It will also review the results of recent clinical trials that have shown an impact on markers of disease progression. RECENT FINDINGS A variety of prognostic factors have been described that relate to a decline in glomerular filtration rate or an increase in total cyst or kidney volumes. We now have clinical trials that show that glomerular filtration rate decline and kidney volume growth can be slowed in those with ADPKD. SUMMARY With the emergence of potential disease-modifying therapies, factors that can accurately identify those who are most at risk for renal progression or ADPKD-related complications need to be identified and validated.

Abstract
Copeptin and arginine vasopressin (AVP) are derived from a common precursor molecule and have equimolar secretion and response to osmotic, haemodynamic and stress-related stimuli. Plasma concentrations of copeptin and AVP in relation to serum osmolality are highly correlated. The physiological functions of AVP with respect to homeostasis of fluid balance, vascular tonus and regulation of the endocrine stress response are well known, but the exact function of copeptin is undetermined. Quantification of AVP can be difficult, but copeptin is stable in plasma and can be easily measured with a sandwich immunoassay. For this reason, copeptin has emerged as a promising marker for the diagnosis of AVP-dependent fluid disorders. Copeptin measurements can enable differentiation between various conditions within the polyuria-polydipsia syndrome. In the absence of prior fluid deprivation, baseline copeptin levels >20 pmol/l identify patients with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Conversely, copeptin levels measured upon osmotic stimulation differentiate primary polydipsia from partial central diabetes insipidus. In patients with hyponatraemia, low levels of copeptin together with low urine osmolality identify patients with primary polydipsia, and the ratio of copeptin to urinary sodium can distinguish the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion from other AVP-dependent forms of hyponatraemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Increased water intake may have a beneficial effect on the kidney through suppression of plasma vasopressin. We examined the effect of increased water intake on plasma copeptin (a marker of vasopressin) over 6 weeks in patients with chronic kidney disease. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled parallel-group pilot trial. SETTING Canada, 2012-2013. PARTICIPANTS 28 patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease randomised (2:1) to a hydration (n=17) or control group (n=11). INTERVENTION The hydration group was coached to increase water intake by up to 1.5 L/day for 6 weeks. The control group was asked to maintain regular water intake. MEASURES AND OUTCOMES Participants provided blood and 24 h urine samples at baseline and 6 weeks. Change in plasma copeptin was compared within and between study groups. RESULTS Participants were 64% male with a mean age of 62 years and an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 40 mL/min/1.73 m(2). Between baseline and 6 weeks, 24 h urine volume increased by 0.7 L/day in the hydration group, rising from 2.3 to 3.0 L/day (p=0.01), while decreasing by 0.3 L/day among controls, from 2.0 to 1.7 L/day (p=0.07); between-group difference: 0.9 L/day (95% CI 0.37 to 1.46; p=0.002). In the hydration group, median copeptin decreased by 3.6 pmol/L, from 15.0 to 10.8 pmol/L (p=0.005), while remaining stable among controls at 19 pmol/L (p=0.76; p=0.19 for the between-group difference in median change); the between-group difference in mean change was 5.4 pmol/L (95% CI -1.2 to 12.0; p=0.11). CONCLUSIONS Adults with stage 3 chronic kidney disease can be successfully randomised to drink approximately 1 L more per day than controls. This increased water intake caused a significant decrease in plasma copeptin concentration. Our larger 12-month trial will examine whether increased water intake can slow renal decline in patients with chronic kidney disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01753466.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the combination of cardiac troponin (cTn) and copeptin in a population older than 70 years of age to rule out non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) at emergency department (ED) presentation. METHODS Among 885 analyzed patients with acute chest pain presenting to the ED, 218 (25%) were aged at least 70 years. RESULTS Patients with elevated copeptin values at presentation were more often aged at least 70 years and had higher blood pressure. Patients at least 70 years without NSTEMI more frequently had elevated copeptin values than younger counterparts (42 vs. 25%, P<0.0001). Bootstrap analysis for the diagnosis of NSTEMI indicated an optimal copeptin threshold value at 8.1 pmol/l in patients less than 70 years and at 10.7 pmol/l in patients at least 70 years. In patients at least 70 years, the combination of copeptin with cTnI significantly improved the sensitivity for the diagnosis of NSTEMI, at all copeptin thresholds tested, but the negative predictive value remained below 95%. CONCLUSION The combination of copeptin with conventional cTnI significantly improved sensitivity for the diagnosis of NSTEMI in patients at least 70 years. However, this improvement was not enough to rule out NSTEMI with a single draw strategy at ED presentation.

Abstract
Copeptin, a C-terminal part of the precursor pre-provasopressin is a novel biomarker of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) system. Measurements of AVP concentration are not used in clinical practice because of technical difficulties. Copeptin is synthesized in stoichiometric ratio with AVP, hence it reflects vasopressin concentration in human plasma and serum. This review outlines current research concerning the role of copeptin as a prognostic marker in different diseases and its potential clinical value.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disease and is responsible for 5-10% of cases of end-stage renal disease worldwide. ADPKD is characterized by the relentless development and growth of cysts, which cause progressive kidney enlargement associated with hypertension, pain, reduced quality of life and eventual kidney failure. Mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, which encode polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2 (PC2), respectively, cause ADPKD. However, neither the functions of these proteins nor the molecular mechanisms of ADPKD pathogenesis are well understood. Here, we review the literature that examines how reduced levels of functional PC1 or PC2 at the primary cilia and/or the endoplasmic reticulum directly disrupts intracellular calcium signalling and indirectly disrupts calcium-regulated cAMP and purinergic signalling. We propose a hypothetical model in which dysregulated metabolism of cAMP and purinergic signalling increases the sensitivity of principal cells in collecting ducts and of tubular epithelial cells in the distal nephron to the constant tonic action of vasopressin. The resulting magnified response to vasopressin further enhances the disruption of calcium signalling that is initiated by mutations in PC1 or PC2, and activates downstream signalling pathways that cause impaired tubulogenesis, increased cell proliferation, increased fluid secretion and interstitial inflammation.

Abstract
A single protein-rich meal (or an infusion of amino acids) is known to increase the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for a few hours, a phenomenon known as “hyperfiltration.” It is important to understand the factors that initiate this upregulation because it becomes maladaptive in the long term. Several mediators and paracrine factors have been shown to participate in this upregulation, but they are not directly triggered by protein intake. Here, we explain how a rise in glucagon and in vasopressin secretion, directly induced by protein ingestion, might be the initial factors triggering the hepatic and renal events leading to an increase in the GFR. Their effects include metabolic actions in the liver and stimulation of sodium chloride reabsorption in the thick ascending limb. Glucagon is not only a glucoregulatory hormone. It is also important for the excretion of nitrogen end products by stimulating both urea synthesis in the liver (along with gluconeogenesis from amino acids) and urea excretion by the kidney. Vasopressin allows the concentration of nitrogenous end products (urea, ammonia, etc.) and other protein-associated wastes in a hyperosmotic urine, thus allowing a very significant water economy characteristic of all terrestrial mammals. No hyperfiltration occurs in the absence of one or the other hormone. Experimental results suggest that the combined actions of these two hormones, along with the complex intrarenal handling of urea, lead to alter the composition of the tubular fluid at the macula densa and to reduce the intensity of the signal activating the tubuloglomerular feedback control of GFR, thus allowing GFR to raise. Altogether, glucagon, vasopressin, and urea contribute to set up the best compromise between efficient urea excretion and water economy.

Clin Exp Nephrol 2015; 19:1199-205.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental studies suggest a detrimental role for cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and vasopressin in the pathogenesis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It is unknown, however, whether urinary cAMP and copeptin concentration are associated with disease severity in patients with ADPKD. METHODS Urinary cAMP (u-cAMP) and copeptin concentration (u-copeptin) were measured by immunoassay in ADPKD patients with CKD stage ≤4. We compared our measurements with clinical parameters including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), total kidney volume (TKV), and height-adjusted TKV (htTKV). Logarithmic transformation of all variables was performed to fulfill the requirement of equal distribution of the residuals. RESULTS We included 50 patients in this study (24 females and 26 males; mean age: 49.3 years). The median eGFR and TKV were 53.2 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (interquartile range: IQR; 29.4-68.45) and 1138.1 ml (IQR; 814.7-2065.0), respectively. The median u-copeptin level was 12.19 (IQR; 6.91-22.32) ng/ml. Although u-cAMP/u-Cr was not significantly correlated with TKV (R = -0.006, p = 0.967) and eGFR (R = 0.077, p = 0.602), urinary copeptin/u-Cr was statistically associated with the various markers of disease severity in ADPKD [positively with TKV (R = 0.351, p = 0.014), htTKV (R = 0.383, p = 0.008) and negatively with eGFR (R = -0.304, p = 0.036)]. CONCLUSIONS In ADPKD subjects, a higher u-copeptin is associated with disease progression, suggesting that u-copeptin may be a new surrogate marker to predict renal prognosis in ADPKD.
