Summary: | Objectives: Hyperprolactinemia is a common endocrine problem
seen in everyday practice. Therefore, the Croatian society for
endocrine oncology decided to write Croatian guidelines for the
management of hyperprolactinemia that implements current
scientific evidence with acknowledgement of economic and
cultural specificities in Croatia.
Methods: These guidelines were written by a Working group in
the Croatian society for endocrine oncology, which included
experts from different medical specialities that manage
hyperprolactinemia, and were based on relevant scientific data.
Results: These guidelines provide a comprehensive review of
prolactin pathophysiology, the aetiology of hyperprolactinemia,
as well as recommendations for the diagnostic and therapeutic
approach to patients with hyperprolactinemia.
Conclusion: These practical guidelines are in agreement with
current scientific knowledge and will ensure better management
of hyperprolactinemia in Croatia. |
