Macroprolactinemia Why High Prolactin May Not Cause Symptoms

Описание: Ever wondered why some patients have high prolactin levels but show no symptoms? This video dives into Macroprolactinemia, a frequently overlooked cause of asymptomatic hyperprolactinemia. Learn how high molecular weight prolactin can lead to misleading lab results, why it usually doesn’t cause clinical symptoms, and how to accurately diagnose and manage it.
We’ll cover:
• What macroprolactin is and how it forms
• Why routine prolactin tests can be misleading
• Laboratory tests to distinguish macroprolactinemia from true hyperprolactinemia
• Clinical implications and avoiding unnecessary treatment
Perfect for medical students, residents, and clinicians wanting high-yield insights into endocrine diagnostics.
