Popis: Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of copeptin levels in the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Methods: A total of 274 patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and who had undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence (CIN+) or absence (CIN-) of CIN. These groups were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, laboratory findings and risk factors. Results: Copeptin levels (10.68±6.43 vs. 7.07±05.53 pmol/l; p
