Article Synopsis
- - Copeptin is a peptide that responds quickly to stress and is produced alongside arginine vasopressin (AVP), but it has a longer half-life and is more stable than AVP, making it a valuable alternative for measuring the body's stress response.
- - Unlike AVP, copeptin levels are less affected by food intake but can drop with small amounts of oral fluid, which helps provide accurate diagnostic information in various medical conditions, especially those related to body fluid regulation.
- - Copeptin has proven diagnostic utility for conditions like polyuria-polydipsia syndrome, showing high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating causes of AVP resistance and providing more accurate diagnoses compared to traditional methods.
Copeptin Stimulation by Combined Intravenous Arginine and Oral LevoDopa/Carbidopa in Healthy Short Children and Children with the Polyuria-Polydipsia Syndrome.

Introduction: Stimulated copeptin may provide an alternative to water deprivation testing (WDT) in the evaluation of polyuria-polydipsia syndrome (PPS). Though best studied, arginine stimulation alone produces a modest copeptin response in children. We investigated the effectiveness of the arginine + LevoDopa/Carbidopa stimulation test (ALD-ST) for copeptin.
