Copeptin and arginine vasopressin at high altitude: relationship to plasma osmolality and perceived exertion.
2015
Purpose
A diuresis is a key part of acclimatisation to high altitude (HA). Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a hormone involved in salt and water balance and may potentially have a role in the development of altitude illness. ProAVP (copeptin) is more stable than AVP and is assayed by a straightforward, automated method. We investigated the relationship of AVP to copeptin and the copeptin response to exercise and altitude illness in a large cohort during a field study at HA.
