    Copeptin effectively predicts extracellular fluid volume status in hypotonic hyponatremic patients upon emergency department admission.

  • 2

    A copeptin-to-urinary sodium ratio of ≤29.5 pmol/mmol significantly increases the likelihood of preserved extracellular fluid.

  • 3

    Copeptin levels above 60.1 pmol/L are optimal for predicting in-hospital mortality in hyponatremic patients.

  • 4

    Copeptin, NT-proBNP, and comorbidity burden are significant predictors of 6-month mortality in patients with hypotonic hyponatremia.

  • 5

    Measuring copeptin at ED admission aids in diagnosing hypotonic hyponatremia and predicting patient outcomes.
