Diagnosis of hypothyroidism in patients with hyperprolactinemia.

Abstract

Diagnosis of hypothyroidism is difficult due to the variety of symptoms, and the severity of thyroid insufficiency can vary from patient to patient. In 30% of patients with hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia develops, which is associated with increased secretion of thyrotropin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus, which in turn stimulates the production of TSH and prolactin in the adenohypophysis. The aim of the study. Diagnosis of hypothyroidism in patients with hyperprolactinemia.
