Copeptin now in the new European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism 2019
Acute pulmonary embolism is one of the leading causes for cardiovascular death worldwide. Clinicians can now rely on copeptin as a prognostic biomarker for the risk stratification of patients with acute pulmonary embolism, which was recently included in the new guideline from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for the diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary embolism.

Plasma copeptin levels predict disease progression and tolvaptan efficacy in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
In the TEMPO 3:4 Trial, treatment with tolvaptan, a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, slowed the increase in total kidney volume and decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
