Copeptin Kinetics in Acute Ischemic Stroke May Differ According to Revascularization Strategies: Pilot Data

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—Prognostic value of copeptin in acute ischemic stroke has been widely reported. This study aimed to evaluate copeptin temporal profile according to revascularization strategies and the development of brain edema and hemorrhagic transformation.

Description
Summary:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—Prognostic value of copeptin in acute ischemic stroke has been widely reported. This study aimed to evaluate copeptin temporal profile according to revascularization strategies and the development of brain edema and hemorrhagic transformation. METHODS—Plasma copeptin and brain edema and hemorrhagic transformation assessed by computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging were evaluated upon admission (T0), at 24 hours (T1), and between the third and fifth day of hospitalization (T2) in 34 acute ischemic stroke patients. RESULTS—Median copeptin concentration was 50.71 pmol/L at T0, 18.31 pmol/L at T1, and 10.92 pmol/L at T2. Copeptin at T1 was higher in patients with medium/severe brain edema at T2 (32.25 versus 13.67 pmol/L; P=0.038) and hemorrhagic transformation at T1 (93.10 versus 13.67 pmol/L; P
