Detection of macroprolactin causing hyperprolactinemia in commercial assays for prolactin.
one at the concentration of 7 pg/mg. This result was not challenged by the athlete. Nandrolone has also been identified by this laboratory in the hair of bodybuilders, in concentrations of 1–7 pg/mg (8 ). NA and noretiocholanolone were not detected in any hair. The sensitive, specific, and reproducible method developed appears to be suitable for the detection and quantification of 19-norsteroid...
متن کاملProlactin Immunoreactivity in Rheumatoid Factor-Containing Specimens: Is it Prolactin, Macroprolactin or Assay Interference?
Specimens containing Rheumatoid factor (RF) were examined for possible interference in Prolactin (PRL) measurement. PRL levels following polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment were significantly lower than in untreated RFpositive samples (p<0.001; n=43) and spurious hyperprolactinemia was indicated in 7 percent. Gel filtration chromatography suggested that the PRL-like immunoreactivity was from as...
متن کاملFrequent misdiagnosis and mismanagement of hyperprolactinemic patients before the introduction of macroprolactin screening: application of a new strict laboratory definition of macroprolactinemia.
BACKGROUND Macroprolactin (big big prolactin) has reduced bioactivity and is measured by immunoassays for prolactin when it accumulates in the plasma of some individuals. We applied normative data for serum prolactin after treatment of sera to remove macroprolactin to elucidate the contribution of macroprolactin to misleading diagnoses, inappropriate investigations, and unnecessary treatment. ...
