Abstract:
Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) is one of the key hormones in the human body. AVP is clinically important because it maintains body fluid balance and vascular tone. Unfortunately, AVP laboratory measurements are always difficult and with low accuracy. Copeptin, the C-terminal of the AVP precursor, is released in equal amounts with AVP, making it a sensitive marker of AVP release. Despite being a non-specific biomarker, copeptin earned a lot of attention as a novel biomarker due to easy and quick laboratory measurements. Recent studies have reported the critical role of copeptin as a clinical indicator, especially in the diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases. Besides, it was reported that the combination between copeptin and gold standard biomarkers improved the prognostic values of those biomarkers. In this review, the role of copeptin as a new predictive diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of various diseases is highlighted according to the most recent studies. In addition, the importance of using copeptin as a marker in different medical departments and the impact of this on improving healthcare service was discussed.
