[Prolactin level in congenital adrenal cortex dysfunction].

Study of prolactin secretion in patients with congenital adrenal cortex dysfunction demonstrated that the majority of untreated patients displayed elevated blood prolactin content. Blood prolactin level fell after treatment with glucocorticosteroids. Blood prolactin level was elevated, irrespective of normal or increased 24-hour 17-CS excretion in patients with congenital adrenal gland dysfunction treated with glucocorticosteroids and with persistent disturbances of ovarian function.
