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 ...

The importance of measuring macroprolactin in the differential diagnosis of hyperprolactinemic patients

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012
This study investigated the differences in clinical and laboratory features as well as treatment response in 70 outpatients with macroprolactinemia and monomeric hyperprolactinemia treated with dopamine agonists.

SAT616 Differentiating Resistant Prolactinoma From Macroprolactinemia [PDF]

J Endocr Soc, 2023
Abstract Disclosure: S. Lacount: None. P. Belany: None. Introduction: Prolactinomas are the most common secretory tumor of the pituitary gland. Hyperprolactinemia can present as hypogonadism, infertility, galactorrhea, or it may remain asymptomatic. In asymptomatic hyperprolactinemia, macroprolactinemia and other secondary

PLoS ONE, 2013
Clinical trials evaluating the rate of short-term selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-induced hyperprolactinemia have produced conflicting results.

Untreated Giant Macroprolactinoma with Chronic Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage: An Unusual Complication

Case Reports in Endocrinology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Macroprolactinoma has the potential to cause base of skull erosion and often extends into the sphenoid sinus. Rapid shrinkage of this invasive tumor following dopamine agonist therapy has been postulated to cause unplugging of the eroded area, leading to cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Normocalcemia but still elevated parathyroid hormone levels after parathyroidectomy

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 6, Issue 8, Page 1577-1581, August 2018., 2018
Even when laboratory results at first match with clinical assessment, assay interference should still be on a clinician's mind when later results no longer fit with the patient. Key Clinical Message Even when laboratory results at first match with clinical assessment, assay interference should still be on a clinician's mind when later results no longer

Macro-TSH:A Diagnostic Challenge [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Analytical problems should be considered in case of a discrepancy between the results of biochemical tests and the clinical findings. Macro-hormones often artefactually elevate biochemical tests. Case Presentation: A young male was referred

Emergence of Pituitary Adenoma in a Child during Surveillance: Clinical Challenges and the Family Members’ View in an AIP Mutation‐Positive Family

International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Introduction. Germline aryl hydrocarbon receptor‐interacting protein (AIP) mutations are responsible for 15–30% of familial isolated pituitary adenomas (FIPAs). We report a FIPA kindred with a heterozygous deletion in AIP, aiming to highlight the indications and benefits of genetic screening, variability in clinical presentations, and management ...

Stress‐Induced Hyperprolactinemia: Pathophysiology and Clinical Approach

Obstetrics and Gynecology International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
While prolactin is most well known for its role in lactation and suppression of reproduction, its physiological functions are quite diverse. There are many etiologies of hyperprolactinemia, including physiologic as well as pathologic causes. Physiologic causes include pregnancy, lactation, sleep‐associated, nipple stimulation and sexual orgasm, chest ...
