Diagnosis and treatment of hyperprolactinemia: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline.

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to formulate practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperprolactinemia.

PARTICIPANTS: The Task Force consisted of Endocrine Society-appointed experts, a methodologist, and a medical writer.

EVIDENCE: This evidence-based guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system to describe both the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence.

CONSENSUS PROCESS: One group meeting, several conference calls, and e-mail communications enabled consensus. Committees and members of The Endocrine Society, The European Society of Endocrinology, and The Pituitary Society reviewed and commented on preliminary drafts of these guidelines.

CONCLUSIONS: Practice guidelines are presented for diagnosis and treatment of patients with elevated prolactin levels. These include evidence-based approaches to assessing the cause of hyperprolactinemia, treating drug-induced hyperprolactinemia, and managing prolactinomas in nonpregnant and pregnant subjects. Indications and side effects of therapeutic agents for treating prolactinomas are also presented.
