âHyperâ ( meaning over, super, or excess) or in this case Hyperprolactinemia â meaning one has an excess of prolactin or high prolactin levels. Hyperprolactinemia is a condition where non-pregnant women (or men) have too much or an excess of prolactin in their bodies.
A number of otherwise healthy people have elevated prolactin levels because some of the prolactin in their blood is in a different form called macroprolactin. Macroprolactin is prolactin that is bound to a protein (immunoglobulin), is not active in the body, and does not indicate the presence of disease. If an elevated prolactin is found, further laboratory tests may be done to make sure that this is not due to macroprolactin. ^ Back to top.
