The reference range for prolactin in females is as follows: Nongravid/nonlactating: 2-29 ng/mL. Gravid: 10-209 ng/mL (third trimester) The reference range for prolactin in males is 2-18 ng/mL.

I'm a bit confused. My daughter's result is 178 mU/L (110-560). Please could you help me understand the difference? TIA.

Conversion of normal range 2-29 ng/ml (USA) is 59-619 mU/L (rest of the world).

No, about 620 is the top of the non pregnant range.
