A member asked:

Tsh=.78, prolactin 27.2. i have had hypothyroid symptoms for the last several months could this be indicative of hypopituitarism?

Potentially: This mild elevation of the Prolactin could be indicative of an abnormality of the pituitary gland. However, just based on the normal TSH and mildly elevated Prolactin, you would need further evaluation prior to knowing the full answer.
