Test Overview
Prolactin is a hormone. It is produced in the pituitary gland. It gets secreted in small amounts throughout the day. But its levels increase during pregnancy and stress. Prolactin is responsible for the development of the mammary glands and milk production. It also plays a role in the menstrual cycle regulation and fertility.
Active and macro prolactin are two forms of Prolactin. They have different functions. Active prolactin is responsible for the development of the mammary glands and milk production. Macroprolactin is for the regulation of the menstrual cycle and fertility.
This test is used to rule out false high prolactin levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
For evaluation of pituitary tumors, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, infertility, and hypogonadism Monitoring therapy of prolactin-producing tumors.
This test is for females & males.
For evaluation of pituitary tumors, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, infertility, and hypogonadism Monitoring therapy of prolactin-producing tumors Monomeric prolactin is bioactive, whereas macroprolactin is considered biologically inactive. Prolactin is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland under negative control by dopamine, which is secreted by the hypothalamus. The only physiological function of prolactin is the stimulation of milk production. Hyperprolactinemia can be caused by the presence of a high-molecular-mass complex of prolactin called macroprolactin. In this situation, the patient is asymptomatic. Hyperprolactinemia attributable to macroprolactin is a frequent cause of misdiagnosis and mismanagement of patients. Macroprolactin should be considered if, in the presence of elevated prolactin levels, signs and symptoms of hyperprolactinemia are absent, or pituitary imaging studies are not informative.
