Prolactin (PRL) Test Immunohistochemistry

Immunohistochemistry is a technique used to identify specific proteins in tissue samples. In the case of the Prolactin (PRL) Test, this technique is used to detect the presence of prolactin hormone in tissues. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a role in lactation, reproduction, and metabolism.

By performing the PRL Test Immunohistochemistry, healthcare providers can determine the levels and distribution of prolactin in tissue samples. This information can be useful in diagnosing conditions related to prolactin abnormalities, such as hyperprolactinemia (elevated prolactin levels) or prolactinomas (prolactin-secreting tumors).
