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.
