Hyperprolactinaemia (also spelled hyperprolactinemia) is a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. In women, normal prolactin levels average to about 13 ng/mL, while in men, they average 5 ng/mL. The upper normal limit of serum prolactin is typically between 15 to 25 ng/mL for both genders. [1]

This leads to misdiagnosis of hyperprolactinaemia in many people, especially those with other symptoms, such as infertility [4] or menstrual problems. [5] "Macroprolactin" is most commonly a complex of prolactin and IgG (typically IgG4), displaying a molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa (which is hence 6–7 fold higher that the native ...
A prolactinoma is a tumor of the pituitary gland that produces the hormone prolactin.It is the most common type of functioning pituitary tumor. [1] Symptoms of prolactinoma are due to abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood (hyperprolactinemia), or due to pressure of the tumor on surrounding brain tissue and/or the optic nerves.
Hyperprolactinaemia is the most common cause of AHH. It is a well-established cause of infertility in both male and female mammals. [13] Prolactin inhibits GnRH neurons and therefore inhibits the subsequent release of LH, FSH and sex steroids.
Galactorrhea hyperprolactinemia is increased blood prolactin levels associated with galactorrhea (abnormal milk secretion). It may be caused by such things as certain medications, pituitary disorders and thyroid disorders. The condition can occur in males as well as females.

Administrators of the facility “really need to be confronted with their success rates. In AA, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
