Thermal degradation of polyethylene glycol 6000 and its effect on the assay of macroprolactin [PDF]
, 2010 Study of the effectiveness of partially degraded polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) as a precipitant for macroprolactin. PEG was heated to 63 °C in air for up to 20 days and its effectiveness assessed as a precipitant for sera containing normal prolactin or ...

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 37, Issue 5, March 2023., 2023 Gel filtration chromatogram of proved macroamylase in two patients serum. Macroamylase can occur in sera of healthy people without any symptoms and knowledge of macrocomplexes can help avoid diagnostic errors in the differential diagnosis as well as reduce useless invasive and expensive examinations of patients.

Case Reports in Endocrinology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Prolactin‐secreting leiomyomas are rare, with only eight cases reported in the literature. This case describes a 37‐year‐old female with hyperprolactinaemia (1846 mIU/L; 85–500 mIU/L) refractory to cabergoline causing infertility and galactorrhea. MRI pituitary was normal. The patient had a known enlarging uterine leiomyoma on serial pelvic ultrasounds

Antipsychotics-induced hyperprolactinemia and screening for macroprolactin [PDF]
, 2021 Introduction: High prolactin (PRL) concentrations are found in laboratory test results of patients on majority of antipsychotic drugs. Prevalence rates and degrees of severity of hyperprolactinemia (HPRL) based on PRL concentration may depend on the ...

Macroprolactinemia: a mini-review and update on clinical practice
F&S Reports, 2023 Hyperprolactinemia is common among infertile patients, with up to 15%–20% of women with oligomenorrhea having hyperprolactinemia. Suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis via inhibition of pulsatile gonadotropin releasing hormone because of
