Copeptin levels after brain surgery in children
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows children after brain surgery to see how a substance called copeptin (a marker in the blood) changes and whether it can help doctors spot a condition that causes too much thirst and urination (diabetes insipidus) early. It may lead to better care for children in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Your child has had or will have brain surgery (neurosurgery).
- Your child does not have kidney or bladder problems, or a condition that causes excessive thirst and urination (like diabetes).
- Your child is not taking medicines that make them urinate more (like water pills or certain diabetes drugs).
- You must be able to bring your child for follow-up visits 3 months after surgery.

This study looks at whether a blood test measuring a hormone called copeptin can help diagnose bedwetting in children and tell if it is the only urinary symptom. It aims to make diagnosis easier and more accurate for children who wet the bed at night.
This study tests whether a hormone called copeptin can help doctors tell apart two conditions that cause children to drink and urinate a lot. The results may lead to a simpler, more accurate diagnosis.
This study looks at whether levels of a blood marker called copeptin and your sense of thirst can help predict how well bariatric (weight-loss) surgery works. If you are eligible, you will have blood tests and answer questions about thirst before and after surgery.
This study helps doctors figure out why some people drink and urinate excessively. Researchers will measure a hormone called copeptin in your blood after giving you fluids, to find out if your excessive drinking and urination is caused by a specific hormone problem (AVP deficiency) or something else.
This study tests whether a protein supplement combined with drinking less fluid can help keep sodium levels stable after pituitary surgery. It is designed for patients who are at risk of sodium imbalances after their operation.
This trial tests a smart insulin pump (hybrid closed-loop system) to control high blood sugar after brain surgery for bleeding strokes. It's for people with type 2 diabetes who are stable enough to leave the intensive care unit and are getting tube feedings.
