The DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate) Test measures the levels of DHEA-S, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S serves as a precursor for male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. This test is commonly used to evaluate adrenal gland function, investigate hormonal imbalances, and diagnose conditions like PCOS, adrenal tumors, or congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Monitoring DHEA-S levels also provides insights into overall hormonal health and potential age-related changes.

Abnormal DHEA-S levels can indicate: High levels: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Adrenal tumors or hyperplasia Hormonal imbalances leading to hirsutism, acne, or virilization in women Low levels: Adrenal insufficiency or Addison’s disease Hypopituitarism Age-related hormonal decline Early detection and regular monitoring of DHEA-S levels can help manage these conditions effectively.
