Macroprolactinemia Revisited: A Study on 106 Patients [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002 The predominance of high molecular weight PRL, or macroprolactinemia, has long been known in hyperprolactinemic patients with maintained fertility. Among 1,106 consecutive patients investigated for hyperprolactinemia in our center over a 10-yr period, serum PRL chromatography was performed in 368 cases because of discordant clinical, biological, or ...
