Downloaded from 1 2 3 ABSTRACT 4 5 6 7 Objectives: Increased water intake may have a beneficial effect on the kidney through 8 9 suppression of plasma vasopressin. We examined the effect of increased oral water intake on 10 11 plasma copeptin (a marker of vasopressin) over six weeks in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney 12 13 14 disease. 15 For peer review only 16 17 Design: Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled parallel-group pilot trial. 18 19 20 Setting: Canada, 2012-2013. 21 22 23 Participants: Twenty-nine patients with stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease randomized (2:1) to a 24 25 26 hydration (n=18) or control group (n=11). 27 28 29 Intervention: The hydration group was coached to increase water intake by up to 1.5 L/day for 6 30 31 weeks (in addition to usual intake, depending on sex and weight). The control group was asked 32 33 to maintain regular water intake. 34 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 35 36 37 Measures and Outcomes: Participants provided blood and 24-hr urine samples at baseline and 6 38 39 weeks after randomization. Change in plasma copeptin was compared within and between study 40 41 42 groups. on September 28, 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. 43 44 45 Results: Participants (n=28) were 63% male with a mean age of 61 years and had an estimated 46 47 glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 40 ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>. Between baseline and 6 48 49 50 weeks, 24-hr unrine volume increased by 0.7 L/d in the hydration group, rising from 2.3 to 3.0 51 52 L/d, while decreasing by 0.3 L/d among controls, from 2.0 to 1.7 L/d (p=0.002 for the between- 53 54 group change). In the hydration group, median copeptin decreased by 3.6 pmol/L, from 15.0 to 55 56 57 58 59 60 2 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 3 of 21 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2015-008634 on 24 November 2015.

This increased water intake caused a 12 13 14 significant decrease in plasma copeptin concentration. Future trials should examine whether 15 For peer review only 16 increased water intake can slow renal decline in patients with chronic kidney disease. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Strengths and Limitations 27 28 29 • In this randomized controlled pilot trial, 28 patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease were 30 31 successfully randomized to drink approximately 1 L more per day than controls for six 32 33 34 weeks, as verified by 24-hour urine collections. This increased water intake caused a http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 35 36 significant decrease in plasma copeptin concentration. 37 38 39 • Patients were followed for only six weeks. Whether the effect of increased water intake on 40 41 plasma copeptin concentration is clinically significant, beneficial, or sustainable over time is 42 on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Downloaded from 1 2 3 INTRODUCTION 4 5 6 Vasopressin is an essential antidiuretic hormone in mammals that regulates thirst and urine 7 8 water.1 However, chronically elevated levels of vasopressin may have adverse health effects. 9 10 Until recently, it was not possible to reliably measure vasopressin due to the limited sensitivity of 11 12 13 available assays; however, in 2006, Morgenthaler et al. developed an immunoassay for 14 15 copeptin—a glycosylatedFor peptide peer that is co-released review with vasopressin only from the hypothalamus.2 16 17 Copeptin can be measured from blood samples and is demonstrated to be a reliable marker of 18 19 2,3 20 vasopressin. The availability of this assay has renewed scientific interest into the role of 21 22 vasopressin and copeptin in chronic illness. In longitudinal studies, a higher baseline 23 24 25 concentration of plasma copeptin predicts kidney function decline patients with autosomal 26 4,5 27 dominant polycystic kidney disease, and other studies have linked copeptin to the development 28 29 of diabetes,6 the metabolic syndrome,7 and heart failure.8,9 In cohort studies, elevated plasma 30 31 10,11 32 copeptin at baseline is strongly predictive of subsequent myocardial infarction and end-stage 33 12 34 kidney disease. http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 35 36 37 Many factors are known to activate vasopressin, including acute stress and illness.13 Other 38 39 40 stimuli include high plasma osmolality and dehydration—vasopressin is the first hormone 41 42 released during dehydration.1 In experimental studies of rats, increased water intake was shown on September 28, 2021 by guest.

Copeptin may be an intermediate variable in the relationship between 50 51 water intake and renal decline; however, it is not known whether copeptin can be adequately 52 53 54 suppressed by water intake in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease. In 2012, we launched the 55 56 pilot phase of a randomized controlled trial that will test whether increased water intake can slow 57 58 59 60 4 For peer review only - http://bmjopen.bmj.com/site/about/guidelines.xhtml Page 5 of 21 BMJ Open BMJ Open: first published as 10.1136/bmjopen-2015-008634 on 24 November 2015.
