The Prolactin Test Kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of prolactin (PRL) in human serum or plasma. According to the supplied product information, the kit is compatible with the CLIA PV 1800 analyzer and is available in a 100-test pack. Prolactin testing is used as part of the laboratory assessment of hormonal status and may support the evaluation of reproductive disorders and conditions associated with pituitary function.

Clinical Applications of the Prolactin Test Kit

Prolactin measurement can contribute to the assessment of hormonal conditions when interpreted alongside clinical symptoms, medical history, and other relevant laboratory findings. Common applications include:

• Menstrual disorders: Supporting the investigation of possible hormonal causes of menstrual irregularities and amenorrhea.

• Infertility assessment: Contributing to the evaluation of potential hormonal factors associated with infertility in women and men.

• Galactorrhea evaluation: Supporting the investigation of abnormal milk secretion outside the usual circumstances of breastfeeding.

• Pituitary assessment: Helping evaluate altered prolactin levels in patients with suspected pituitary disorders.

• Hormonal monitoring: Measuring prolactin levels as part of clinical assessment and follow-up when indicated by the treating clinician.

Test results should be interpreted according to the laboratory's reference interval, sampling conditions, the patient's clinical status, and other relevant findings.

General Product Specifications

Why Prolactin Measurement Matters

Prolactin is a hormone produced primarily by the pituitary gland and plays an important role in reproductive function and lactation. Abnormal prolactin levels may be associated with menstrual disturbances, fertility problems, galactorrhea, and certain pituitary conditions.

Prolactin concentrations can also be influenced by factors such as stress, sampling time, medications, and physiological conditions. Results should therefore be evaluated in the appropriate clinical context. Depending on the circumstances, repeat testing or additional investigations may be recommended by the clinician.

Practical Benefits of the 100-Test Prolactin Kit
