Prolactin Detection Reagent (PRL)(Immunofluorescence Chromatography) Clinical Significance

PRL Overview

Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone, also called prolactin (PRL), which is one of the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. It promotes the proliferation of mammary glands, the generation and discharge of milk, and also participates in a variety of functions of the body, especially the regulation of reproductive function. The determination of PRL concentration is helpful for the diagnosis of hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction. Pituitary tumors can cause hyperprolactimia, which is sometimes associated with male impotence. High PRL level is generally associated with galactoplex and amenorrhea, and menstruation can return to normal after PRL decrease after drug treatment

PRL Performance Index

PRL Clinical Significance

• PRL should be measured in patients with amenorrhea, infertility, and menstrual disorders, with or without lactation, to exclude hyperprolactinemia.
• Pituitary prolactinoma should be considered when PRL is abnormally high and further examination is required.
• Elevated PRL levels are also seen in precocious puberty, primary hypothyroidism, premature ovarian failure, poor luteal function, long-term breastfeeding, neuropsychiatric stimulation, and the effects of certain drugs Such as chlorpromazine, contraceptives, a large amount of estrogen, reservium antihypertensive drugs and other factors can cause PRL elevation; PRL reduction is more common in hypopituitarism, simple prolactin secretion deficiency.
