Note
1. Since prolactin is secreted in a pulsatile manner and is also influenced by a variety of physiologic
stimuli, it is recommended to test 3 specimens at 20-30 minute intervals after pooling.
2. Major circulating form of Prolactin is a nonglycosylated monomer, but several forms of Prolactin linked
with immunoglobulin occur which can give falsely high Prolactin results.
3. Macroprolactin assay is recommended if prolactin levels are elevated, but signs and symptoms of
hyperprolactinemia are absent or pituitary imaging studies are normal
