The interrelationships among prolactin, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and parathyroid hormone in humans

ND Adams, TL Garthwaite, RW Gray, TC Hagen and J Lemann Jr

Serum PRL, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]concentrations were measured in 6 women and 2 men with hyperprolactinemia, 6 normal men and 7 normal women, 4 men and 4 women with primary hyperparathyroidism, and 16 men and 4 women with Ca nephrolithiasis. Plasma 1,25(OH)2D and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations were normal in the women and men with hyperprolactinemia. In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and elevated serum PTH, plasma 1,25(OH)2D concentrations were elevated but serum PRL levels were normal. Likewise, serum PRL levels were normal in patients with Ca nephrolithiasis who had significantly elevated plasma, 1,25(OH)2D concentrations and normal serum PTH concentrations. Thus, hyperprolactinemia due to pituitary adenoma or idiopathic hypersecretion is not accompanied but elevated plasma concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D.
