The DHEA-Sulfate test measures the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), an androgen hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S serves as a precursor to other sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, and plays a role in overall hormone balance.
This test is commonly used to evaluate adrenal function and androgen production. It may help assess conditions such as adrenal disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), early or delayed puberty, or symptoms of androgen excess such as acne, hair changes, or menstrual irregularities.
