Clinical Comparison Prolactin Detection Reagent (PRL)(Immunofluorescence Chromatography) In Obstetrics
PRL Overview
Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone called prolactin (PRL), one of the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland. It promotes the proliferation of mammary glands, the generation and discharge of breast milk, but also participate in a variety of bodily functions, especially the regulation of reproductive function. The determination of PRL concentration is helpful for the diagnosis of sagittal pituitary dysfunction. Pituitary tumors sometimes cause impotence in men. Elevated PRL is often associated with galactoplex and amenorrhea, and a decrease in PRL after medication may lead to a return to normal menstruation.
PRL Performance Index
| Detection range | sample size | Sample type | Test time |
| 20~4000μIU/mL | 20μl | Serum / plasma / whole blood | 15min |
PRL Clinical Significance
- For patients with amenorrhea, infertility, and menstrual disorders, PRL should be tested during lactation to rule out hyperprolactinemia.
- If the PRL is abnormally high, pituitary prolactinoma should be considered and additional testing is required.
- Increased PRL levels are also seen in precocious puberty, primary hypothyroidism, early ovarian function, hypoluteal function, organ breastfeeding, neuropsychiatric stimulation, and the effects of certain drugs.
- Factors such as chlorpromazine, birth control pills, large amounts of estrogen and hypertension drugs can lead to an increase in PRL. PRL reduction is more common in pituitary depression and prolactin deficiency.
| PRL | pathogeny |
