Systematic review of the association between thyroid disorders and hyperprolactinemia by Adeel Ahmad Khan, Rohit Sharma, Fateen Ata, Sondos K Khalil, Arwa Saed Aldien, Muhammad Hasnain, Amna Sadiq, Ammara Bint I Bilal, Wasique Mirza

“…Patients with pituitary enlargement on imaging had a higher TSH level compared to those without any pituitary enlargement (Median of 263 (61–602) vs. 50 (24.3–128) mU/L; p-value = 0.01). Conclusion Thyroid hormone replacement can lead to resolution of HPRL and pituitary enlargement in the majority of patients with HPRL due to overt or subclinical hypothyroidism without the need for dopamine agonist treatment.…”
