The lmportance of Macroprolactin in the Differential Diagnosis of Hyperprolactinemia [PDF]
, 2020 The aim of this study: To evaluate the significance of macroprolactin for differential diagnosis of hyperprolactinemia. Objectives of work: 1. To estimate the frequency of macroprolactinaemia in patients with hyperprolactinemia. 2.

A possible cause of the variable detectability of macroprolactin by different immunoassay systems
Background: Macroprolactinaemia is a major cause of hyperprolactinaemia. The detectability of macroprolactin varies widely among different immunoassay systems, but the causes are not fully known.
