MeSH Heading: Hyperprolactinemia
Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.617.738.250.450; C19.700.355.600
Unique ID: D006966
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006966
Scope Note: Increased levels of PROLACTIN in the BLOOD, which may be associated with AMENORRHEA and GALACTORRHEA. Relatively common etiologies include PROLACTINOMA, medication effect, KIDNEY FAILURE, granulomatous diseases of the PITUITARY GLAND, and disorders which interfere with the hypothalamic inhibition of prolactin release. Ectopic (non-pituitary) production of prolactin may also occur. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp77-8)
Entry Term(s): Hyperprolactinaemia; Inappropriate Prolactin Secretion; Inappropriate Prolactin Secretion Syndrome; Prolactin Hypersecretion Syndrome; Prolactin, Inappropriate Secretion
