Part Description
LP200145-3 Provasopressin.C-terminal
Provasopressin.C-terminal, also known as copeptin, is a 39-amino acid glycopeptide that comprises the C-terminal part of provasopressin, a precursor of vasopressin. Copeptin is more stable in serum or plasma compared to vasopressin and copeptin assays are simpler and less time-consuming to run. In addition, copeptin has been shown to be a sensitive surrogate marker for vasopressin release. Copeptin is used to help diagnose diabetes insipidus and monitor various conditions, including sepsis and cardiovascular diseases. PMID: 18291667

- Change Reason
- The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
