Re: what does prolactin level of 135 (up to 410) indicate?

[Guest guest]

You mention " up to 410 " . Is that the maximum of the range listed by

your lab? If so they may use a different measurement than the 5 to 20

range you have heard about here. If 410 is the maximum of the range

of their units of measurement then I wouldn't think 135 would be all

that high.

I think high prolactin can indicate a pituitary tumor, but I'm not

sure. Others on this board have more experience with that. If it is

a pituitary tumor, I think I've heard they are usually treatable by

medication. Occasionally surgery is necessary.

But don't take my word for it - I'm not the expert. Hopefully someone

else will chime in.
