The incidence of macroprolactinemia decreased notably because of wide use of prolactin (PRL) assays measuring macroprolactin at a lower rate. However, in case of high PRL levels, measurement of monomeric PRL (mPRL) levels after polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment is still required. Our aim was to determine – by the use of a second generation PRL assay – how total PRL (tPRL) levels in native sera of healthy blood donors change after PEG treatment. In women, the use of...
