和肽素在下呼吸道感染中的临床应用

Clinical application of copeptin in lower respiratory tract infection

作为一种生物标志物,和肽素用于抗利尿激素释放的测定.近年研究表明,和肽素有望成为一种较为理想的炎性标志物,应用于下呼吸道感染的诊治.在社区获得性肺炎、慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重等下呼吸道感染中,血和肽素水平明显升高,与疾病严重程度和预后密切相关.

As a biomarker,copeptin is used to measure arginine vasopressin release. Recent studies show that copeptin is expected to be an ideal inflammatory marker and used for diagnosis and treatment of lower respiratory tract infection. In community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other lower respiratory tract infections, blood copeptin level significantly increases and is closely related with severity and prognosiy of the diseases.
