A test performed from the blood to determine the level of the hormone prolactin.
Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland. At elevated levels, prolactin causes lactation (unilateral or bilateral), loss of menstruation, infertility in women, and impotence and hypogonadism in men. Elevated values require expanded pituitary diagnosis. They can be induced by drugs:
- antiemetics and stimulants of intestinal peristalsis (metoclopramide),
- drugs that inhibit ovulation,
- neuroleptics,
- estrogens,
- lowering blood pressure,
Decreased values are indicative of pituitary insufficiency or necrosis, or the use of dopamine agonists (in Parkinson's disease). Prolactin deficiency is rare - its only symptom is the absence of postpartum milk supply.
