Introduction: Copeptin is the C-terminal fragment of proAVP and provides an alternative measure of AVP secretion. While direct measurement of AVP during hypertonic saline infusion has been recommended as a diagnostic test for diabetes insipidus (DI), the number of reports examining the utility of copeptin in this context is limited. Here we describe a series of cases where measurement of copeptin during saline infusion has contributed to ...
