    What is Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    The DHEAS test measures dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels in the bloodstream. DHEAS is mainly produced by the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys and are important for creating sex hormones like testosterone and oestrogen.

    Doctors rely on the DHEAS test to evaluate adrenal function and identify potential health concerns. DHEAS levels can point to adrenal, ovarian, or testicular issues and help explain symptoms such as early or delayed puberty in boys or male-like characteristics in women, such as increased body hair or a deeper voice.

    This test is often performed along with other hormone tests, like testosterone for men and estrogenic for women, providing a complete view of hormone balance and aiding in diagnosing hormone-related conditions.

    Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test Parameters

    The Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test measures the concentration of DHEAS hormone in the bloodstream.

    As an androgen, DHEAS is a male sex hormone present in both sexes. It is primarily produced by the adrenal glands, with smaller amounts made in the testicles and ovaries.

    DHEAS acts as a precursor, transforming into other key hormones like testosterone, androstenedione (male hormones), and oestrogen (a female hormone). Men typically have higher levels of testosterone, while women produce more oestrogen, yet both require these hormones for essential functions.

    This test is essential for evaluating puberty markers such as a deeper voice and increased muscle mass in males and is also important for monitoring overall reproductive health and adrenal gland function.

    Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test Preparation

    Here’s what you need to know before scheduling a DHEAS Test in Delhi:

    • Prerequisites Fasting is not a requirement for the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested You can schedule this test at any convenient time of the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test This test is recommended for those showing signs of hormonal issues, such as excessive hair growth, irregular periods, puberty abnormalities, or anyone being assessed for adrenal and reproductive health problems.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test No particular preparation is typically needed for the DHEAS Test, but it’s wise to check with your doctor to confirm if the test is necessary in your case.

    Why Take the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    The Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate test is useful if you display symptoms linked to unusual DHEAS levels. Men typically lack visible signs of high DHEAS, but women and girls often do.

    Indications of high DHEAS in women and girls:

    • Excessive body and facial hair growth

    • Voice changes to a deeper tone

    • Menstrual irregularities

    • Acne

    • Muscle growth

    • Thinning or loss of scalp hair

    In baby girls, high DHEAS might cause ambiguous genitalia, while boys with early puberty signs may require this test to check DHEAS.

    Symptoms of low DHEAS due to adrenal issues:

    • Unintended weight loss

    • Nausea

    • Frequent dizziness

    • Dehydration

    • Salt cravings

    Low DHEAS levels associated with ageing present as:

    • Decreased sexual interest

    • Erectile issues in men

    • Thinning of vaginal tissue in women

    The DHEAS test can help identify hormone or adrenal gland issues and guide treatment.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
