Why does renal failure lead to hyperprolactinemia?
Renal failure and cirrhosis cause delayed clearance of prolactin as it is metabolized by both the kidney and liver the serum prolactin concentration is high in patients who have chronic renal failure and returns to normal after renal transplantation . The major mechanism is a three-fold increase in prolactin secretion, and there is a one-third decrease in metabolic clearance rate
Can seizures raise white blood cells?
Yes, they can. A.K. Shah's article "Peripheral WBC Count and Serum Prolactin Levels in various Seizure Types and Nonepileptic Events" showed that it can happen.

What is hyperprolactinemia?
"Hyperprolactinemia is a condition of elevated serum prolactin. Prolactin is a 198 amino acid protein (23-kD) produced in."Quoted from: -www.emedicine.com/med/topic1098.htm Hyperprolactinaemia or hyperprolactinemia is the presence of abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. Normal levels are less than 580 mIU/L for women, and less than 450 mIU/L for men. The hormone prolactin is downregulated by dopamine and is upregulated by estrogen. A falsely high measurement may occur due to the presence of the biologically inactive macroprolactin in the serum. This can show up as high prolactin in some types of tests, but is asymptomatic. Prolactinoma or other tumors arising in or near the pituitary-such as those that cause acromegaly or Cushing's syndrome-may block the flow of dopamine from the brain to the prolactin-secreting cells, likewise division of the pituitary stalk or hypothalamic disease. Other causes include chronic renal failure, hypothyroidism and sarcoidosis. Some women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have mildly elevated prolactin levels. Apart from diagnosing hyperprolactinaemia and hypopituitarism, prolactin levels are often determined by physicians in patients who have suffered a seizure, when there is doubt whether this was an epileptic seizure or a non-epileptic seizure. Shortly after epileptic seizures, prolactin levels often rise, while they are normal in non-epileptic seizures.
