  2. Hyperprolactinaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperprolactinaemia

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Galactorrhea_Hyperprolactinemia

    Patients with hyperprolactinemia and no symptoms (idiopathic or microprolactinoma) can be monitored without treatment. Consider treatment for women with amenorrhea. In addition, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning should be considered to evaluate bone density. The persistent hypogonadism associated with hyperprolactinemia can lead to ...

  5. Female fertility agents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_fertility_agents

    Dopamine agonists for infertility treatment are commonly administered to hyperprolactinemic anovulation patients. Both bromocriptine and cabergoline are the first-line dopamine agonist in hyperprolactinemia treatment. [46] Cabergoline is currently more preferred than bromocrptine due to its higher efficacy and fewer side effects like nausea. [53]

  6. Prolactin modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolactin_modulator

    Prolactin inhibitors are mainly used to treat hyperprolactinemia (high prolactin levels). [1] Agonists of the dopamine D 2 receptor such as bromocriptine and cabergoline are able to strongly suppress pituitary prolactin secretion and thereby decrease circulating prolactin levels, and so are most commonly used as prolactin inhibitors. [1]

  7. Macroprolactin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroprolactin

    In patients with hyperprolactinemia, the serum pattern of prolactin isoforms usually encompasses 60%–90% monomeric prolactin, 15%–30% big-prolactin (40–60 kDa: usually prolactin dimers or big-big degradation products) and 0%–10% big-big prolactin (>100 kDa). [7]

  8. Anovulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anovulation

    For anovulatory women with hyperprolactinemia without symptoms, they can forgo treatment and continue with close follow up and medical observation. [10] If symptoms of hyperprolactinemia are present, dopamine agonists, such as bromocriptine, are first line treatment which act by inhibiting production of prolactin by the pituitary and can shrink ...

  9. Euthyroid sick syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthyroid_sick_syndrome

    NTIS is a component of a complex endocrine adaptation process, so affected patients might also have hyperprolactinemia and elevated levels of corticosteroids (especially cortisol) and growth hormone. [citation needed] NTIS can be difficult to distinguish from other forms of thyroid dysfunction in the hospital setting.
