Macroprolactinemia no to be confused with macroprolactinoma Part 2

Ok, still not finding much or having much time to look into this, but my fellow tumor friend Erika found these case studies that are interesting so I thought I would share...

So, from what I understand, macroprolactinemia is a production of "anti-prolactin" in response to the over production of prolactin.  The body does this to naturally combat high prolactin.   Not everyone that has high prolactin has macroprolactinemia unfortunately, but it is something that you can be tested for and hope for!
