Study of Serum Copeptin Levels in Newly Diagnosed Hypothyroid Subjects
Author(s): Soni Nagraj* and Soni Yogita
Introduction: Hypothyroidism is one of the most commonly occurring thyroid disorders worldwide. Hypothyroidism is due to decreased circulating levels of thyroid hormones and is caused by inadequate functioning of the thyroid gland. Copeptin (CPP), the C-terminal part of the vasopressin prohormone, is released stoichiometrically with arginine-vasopressin from the neurohypophysis and seems to reflect the individual endogenous stress level and also the mortality risk in coronary events. This study aimed to determine Copeptin levels in hypothyroidism and to evaluate the relationship between CPP and thyroid hormone levels. Methodology: The present study was conducted on 80 newly diagnosed hypothyroid subjects attending the Medical OPD and Immunoassay Laboratory of the Department of Biochemistry, S.P. Medical College and Hospitals, Bika.. Read More»
