Peripheral Insulin Resistance Is Associated with Copeptin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Key Points We found that elevated levels of copeptin are associated with peripheral insulin resistance in nondiabetic patients with CKD stage 3–4. We found no correlation between copeptin levels and hepatic insulin resistance in patients with CKD stage 3–4 or in our control group. Further research is warranted to establish potential mechanistic links between vasopressin and peripheral insulin resistance in CKD. Background Insulin resistance is...
