[QUOTE="Vince, post: 127767, member: 843"] [URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/prolactin-should-men-with-erectile-dysfunction-be-tested.1434/"]Prolactin: Should Men with Erectile Dysfunction Be Tested ?[/URL] Substantial elevation in prolactin (>150 ng/mL) usually indicates a pituitary tumor. Very high levels of prolactin are associated with larger tumors. Prolactinomas are classified as microadenomas (<10 mm) and macroadenomas (>10 mm). The finding of a substantial elevation in blood levels of prolactin association with a pituitary lesion larger than 10 mm by radiographic analysis supports the diagnosis of a macroprolactinoma. Modest levels of prolactin elevation (25–100 ng/mL) may be associated with several diagnoses. All other causes of hyperprolactinemia should be excluded before a tumor is considered. Primary hypothyroidism and chronic renal disease is associated with elevations in prolactin, probably because of altered metabolism or clearance of prolactin. Some medications can increase prolactin blood levels in men, as shown in this table (source: [URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2376090/"]Pharmacological causes of hyperprolactinemia[/URL] [/QUOTE]
