Abstract

Studies in adult patients suggest that copeptin (C-terminal fragment of antidiuretin propeptide) is related to kidney and cardiovascular diseases. The aim was to assess copeptin concentration in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In a group of 38 children with CKD (age: from 4.70 to 18.00 mean 12.23±4.19 years) we evaluated: serum copeptin concentration [ng/mL], age, sex, etiology of CKD, presence of arterial hypertension (AH), medications, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), hemoglobin, calcium-phosphorus metabolism parameters, and lipids. Control group consisted of 38 healthy children aged from 5.51 to 18.0 mean 11.79±3.29 years. Serum copeptin concentration did not differ between children with CKD and healthy children (0.72±0.34 vs. 0.84±0.33 [ng/mL], p=0.088). In children with CKD there were no differences in copeptin concentration depending on sex, presence of AH, and CKD grade. In children with CKD only positive correlation between copeptin and hemoglobin concentrations was found (r=0.35, p=0.031); no other significant correlations between copeptin and clinical and biochemical parameters including GFR were revealed. Also no significant correlations were found between copeptin and evaluated parameters in the control...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
