Copeptin, a surrogate biomarker of vasopressin, has been associated with renal function decline and may serve as a useful early biomarker for preeclampsia. We measured serum copeptin using samples collected longitudinally during pregnancy among unaffected controls (n=136) and cases of preeclampsia (n=169), gestational diabetes (n=92), gestational hypertension (n=101) and preterm birth (n=86) in the Calcium for Preeclampsia Prevention trial (1992–1995). Preeclampsia and gestational hypertension were defined as having a diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 millimeters of mercury on two occasions with and without proteinuria, respectively. The risk of pregnancy complications associated with copeptin was estimated by logistic regression adjusting for maternal age, race, body-mass index, insurance status, marital status, current smoking, and clinical site. Baseline copeptin levels, at mean 16 weeks of gestation, were associated with increased preeclampsia risk (adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence interval being 1.55 per log unit; 1.03–2.31) compared to controls (p=0.03). The association was stronger among cases diagnosed before 37 weeks (1.86; 1.08–3.20) than those diagnosed later (1.45; 0.91–2.32). Copeptin levels rose with increasing gestational age in both cases and controls but remained significantly higher among those who were diagnosed with preeclampsia. Differences in levels of copeptin between cases and controls became more apparent closer to time of diagnosis. No significant associations were found for gestational hypertension without proteinuria, gestational diabetes, or preterm birth without preeclampsia. Copeptin levels are elevated in pregnant women prior to diagnosis of preeclampsia with elevation specific to this pregnancy complication rather than hypertension alone. We investigated whether maternal serum copeptin, a biomarker for the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin, differed in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and gestational diabetes compared to uncomplicated pregnancies using stored samples from the Calcium for Preeclampsia Prevention trial (1992–1995). Baseline copeptin levels at mean 16 weeks of gestation were positively associated with increased risk of preeclampsia even after accounting for maternal age, race, body-mass index, insurance status, marital status, current smoking, and clinical site. Associations were stronger among cases diagnosed before 37 weeks of gestation and no associations were found for gestational diabetes or gestational hypertension. Our findings demonstrate that copeptin levels are elevated in pregnant women prior to diagnosis of preeclampsia with elevation specific to this pregnancy complication rather than hypertension alone.
