[The metoclopramide test in the differential diagnosis of various forms of galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome].

The results of the metoclopramide test in 24 patients with the lactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome were presented. It was shown that the metoclopramide test could be used for differential diagnosis of various types of disease. The blood prolactin concentration was raised only in the patients with the functional type of the lactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome and changed insignificantly in the patients with pituitary microadenoma as well as in the patients with a noticeable increase in the prolactin basal level but without x-ray signs of a pituitary tumor. The presence of pituitary microadenoma could be suspected in the patients of the 3rd group.
