The association between serum prolactin levels and interleukin-6 and systemic lupus erythematosus activity.

This study concurred with the previous findings that stated that hyperprolactinemia is prevalent in SLE patients and correlated with clinical disease activity and UPCI level. The baseline of the fasting serum prolactin level was found to be a sensitive biomarker for the evaluation of lupus nephritis disease activity. PMID: 30570242 [PubMed - in process]
