New Message on Pituitary Chat Pit Tumor- High Prolactin - Fatigue Reply   Recommend Message 36 in Discussion From: PedsProf Posted by Minniechat in August, 2004:  "I believe in the article I posted today from Medscape, discusses that prolactin levels in the 200s are prolactinomas, but levels below, the doctor needs to do some differential testing to confirm.   Contemporary Management of Prolactinomas  James K. Liu, M.D.; William T. Couldwell, M.D., Ph.D. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/474899   ************************* MinnieChat,   I've had this Medscape article in file (with many others) for years.  I've learned, in part from postings here, that PRL levels and presence of tumors are a little more loosely correlated.  Found a good article that provides some different info about PRL levels and type of tumor that may be present:   http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/349/21/2035   It seems from reading the experiences of others here, that this is a whole lot more variable than many sources would have us believe.  Isn't that the case with most of medicine!!   Good luck to all - View other groups in this category.
