Purpose of the test
The purpose of a prolactin test is to measure the level of prolactin in the blood. The test can help a doctor diagnose certain health conditions and monitor patients with a type of pituitary tumor called a prolactinoma.
Diagnosis is testing to determine the cause of a patient’s symptoms. Doctors may order a prolactin test as part of the diagnostic process when a patient has symptoms that suggest a prolactin level that is higher or lower than normal.
Monitoring is observing a health condition or a person’s response to treatment over time. Doctors use prolactin testing to monitor patients who have a prolactinoma. Testing is performed during treatment to understand how well the treatment is working. Prolactin levels may also be tested periodically after treatment is finished to see if a prolactinoma has come back.
