Semimechanistic modeling of copeptin and aldosterone kinetics and dynamics in response to rehydration treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis in children.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a frequent complication of type 1 diabetes (T1D), is characterized by hyperosmolar hypovolemia. The response of water-regulating hormones arginine vasopressin (AVP; antidiuretic hormone) and aldosterone to DKA treatment in children is not well understood, although they may have potential as future diagnostic, prognostic, and/or treatment monitoring markers in diabetic patients. We aimed to characterize the dynamics of the response in copeptin (marker for AVP) and aldosterone secretion to rehydration treatment in pediatric patients with DKA. Data originated from a prospective, observational, multicenter study including 28 pediatric T1D patients treated for DKA (median age, 11.5 years; weight, 35 kg). Serial measurements of hormone levels were obtained during 72
