In 6 patients with epilepsy, a twofold increase in serum prolactin levels followed true epileptic seizures, but no significant change followed pseudoepileptic attacks in 6 other patients. Serum prolactin concentration is a useful biochemical marker to distinguish between epileptic and pseudoepileptic seizures. Serum cortisol levels also increased after epileptic seizures, but diurnal and individual variations render the cortisol level a less reliable indicator of such attacks.
在6例癫痫患者中，真正的癫痫发作后血清催乳素水平增加了两倍，但在另外6例患者中，假性癫痫发作后血清催乳素水平无显著变化。血清催乳素浓度是区分癫痫发作和假性癫痫发作的有用生化指标。癫痫发作后血清皮质醇水平也会升高，但昼夜变化和个体差异使皮质醇水平作为此类发作的指标不太可靠。
