Prolactin (Serum (s))

Specimens: 500 µl Serum (s)
Preanalytics/Notes:

Owing to circadian fluctuations, standardised blood sampling, e.g. between 8.00am and 10.00am is important. Patients receiving high doses of biotin (> 5 mg / day) should be sampled at least 8 hours after the last application, as high levels of biotin may interfere with the test system.
