title: [Hyperprolactinemia in subclinical hypothyroidism].
abstract: Most patients with subclinical hypothyroidism are asymptomatic; however, when this disorder is associated with alterations of the lactotroph, clinical and biochemical manifestations are evident, along with involvement of the gonadotrophic function. In this report, we selected 11 women with hypothyroidism, 5 of them in stage I and 6 in stage II. In all of them, the thyroid function was altered while the most affected was the gonadal axis. The available literature on this subject is scarce, so that we propose a systematic investigation in order to exclude other associated disorders.
