Macroprolactin - rational use of screening test in diagnostic of hyperprolactinaemia [PDF]
, 2018 Određivanje koncentracije prolaktina u serumu ima najveći klinički značaj u diferencijalnoj dijagnostici hiperprolaktinemije. Budući da je fiziologija djelovanja i regulacije lučenja prolaktina u krvi vrlo složena, postoje različiti čimbenici koji utječu

Assessment of macroprolactinemia by polyethylene glycol precipitation method
, 2014 BackgroundMacroprolactin is a molecule that results from association between monomeric prolactin (PRL) and immunoglobulin G (IgG). It has longer half-life and is considered biologically inactive, although it retains immunoreactivity, being detected in ...

Should macroprolactin be measured in all hyperprolactinaemic sera? [PDF]
Clinical Endocrinology, 2009 SummaryMacroprolactin is a nonbioactive prolactin isoform usually composed of a monomer of prolactin and a IgG molecule which has a prolonged clearance rate similar to that of the immunoglobulins. Macroprolactinaemia, hyperprolactinaemia entirely accounted for by the presence of macroprolactin, is estimated to account for approximately 10% of all ...
