Abstract

This study was designed to determine the prevalence and clinical significance of hyperprolactinemia in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other rheumatic diseases. Basal levels of prolactin were determined in 130 nonselected sera from patients with rheumatic diseases including 45 with SLE, 31 with rheumatoid arthritis, 23 with osteoarthritis, 18 with fibromyalgia, and 13 with polymyalgia rheumatica. Serum samples of 28 healthy subjects were used as normal controls. Serum prolactin was measured by radioimmunoassay. ANA, anti-DNA, RNP, Sm, Ro, La, and anticardiolipin antibodies were determined by standard techniques. Elevated serum levels of prolactin (PRL greater than 20 ng/ml) were found in a subset of SLE patients. In addition, a direct correlation with clinical disease and serological (ANA) activity was also found. These findings suggest a potential role for this immunoregulatory hormone in SLE pathogenesis.
