Full list of author information is available at the end of the articleThe so called “big-big ” prolactin (Prl), also known as macroprolactin is formed by Prl-immunoglobulin (Prl-IgG) complexes and may cause elevation of serum Prl concentrations measured by standard assays, potentially leading to unnecessary investigations and/or treatment [1]. The term “macroprolactinaemia ” is typically applied 60 % of total serum Prl concentration [2]. It is well proved that autoimmune thyroid disease is often associated with other autoimmune conditions. For instance pituitary antibodies can be observed in about 20 % of cases of autoimmune thyroid disease [3]. Further-more, autoimmune thyroid disease, and Hashimoto thyr-oiditis in particular, increases th...
