    What is Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    A DHEAS test measures the amount of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in the blood. This hormone is largely produced by the adrenal glands, small organs located just above each kidney, and plays a role in producing sex hormones like testosterone and oestrogen.

    Doctors use the DHEAS test to check adrenal health and diagnose various conditions. DHEAS levels are useful for detecting issues with the adrenal glands, ovaries, or testicles, and can help identify the cause of symptoms like early or late puberty in boys or male-like features in women, such as increased facial or body hair and voice deepening.

    The DHEAS test is often done alongside other hormone tests, such as testosterone and oestrogen, to provide a comprehensive view of hormonal health and detect any imbalances.

    Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test Parameters

    The DHEAS test measures the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in the blood.

    DHEAS is an androgen, a male sex hormone found in both men and women. It is mainly produced by the adrenal glands, though the testicles and ovaries also contribute small amounts.

    This hormone serves as a building block for other hormones, such as testosterone and androstenedione (male hormones) and estrogen (a female hormone). While men produce more testosterone and women more estrogen, these hormones are critical for both genders.

    The test is particularly useful for assessing male puberty traits, including muscle development and voice changes, while also providing key insights into adrenal health and hormonal balance in men and women.
