Copeptin

Copeptin is a blood test that measures the level of copeptin, a stable peptide derived from the precursor of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone or ADH). Copeptin is used as a surrogate marker for vasopressin, which plays a key role in regulating water balance, blood pressure, and the body’s response to stress.Elevated copeptin levels can indicate a variety of conditions related to cardiovascular, renal, and stress-related disorders, providing crucial information for clinical decision-making.
