The DHEA Sulphate (DHEA-S) Test from Repose Healthcare is a convenient, at-home blood test that measures your DHEA-S hormone levels, providing vital insight into adrenal gland function and overall hormonal balance.
DHEA-S is a key hormone produced by the adrenal glands and serves as a precursor for androgens and estrogens. Monitoring its levels can help identify hormonal imbalances, adrenal disorders, and age-related changes, allowing you to take proactive steps for health and well-being.
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) is a naturally occurring steroid hormone primarily produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in:
Supporting hormonal balance in men and women
Acting as a precursor to testosterone and estrogen
Maintaining energy levels, mood, and cognitive function
Supporting immune system function
DHEA-S levels naturally fluctuate throughout life, peaking in early adulthood and gradually declining with age. Abnormal levels may indicate adrenal dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, or other health concerns.
Testing your DHEA-S levels can help you and your healthcare provider understand potential causes for:
Fatigue, low energy, or chronic tiredness
Hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone or estrogen-related symptoms
Irregular menstrual cycles or fertility concerns
Mood disorders such as anxiety or depression
Signs of adrenal dysfunction, including Addison’s disease or adrenal insufficiency
Early detection of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal tumours
Monitoring DHEA-S is particularly valuable for adults experiencing age-related hormonal changes or those managing adrenal health.

DHEA-S levels are measured in micrograms per decilitre (µg/dL) or micromoles per litre (µmol/L), with reference ranges varying by age and sex. Your report will include:
Normal levels – within the expected range for your age and sex
Low levels – may indicate adrenal insufficiency or reduced hormone production
High levels – may indicate adrenal hyperactivity, PCOS, or androgen excess
Results are presented in clear language and can be shared with a GP or endocrinologist for medical advice if necessary.
Low DHEA-S levels may be associated with:
Adrenal insufficiency or Addison’s disease
Chronic fatigue and low energy
Depression or mood disorders
Age-related hormonal decline
High DHEA-S levels may be linked to:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Adrenal tumours or hyperplasia
Excess androgen production in men or women
Early onset of puberty in children
Testing DHEA-S levels is a useful tool in understanding hormonal health, adrenal function, and metabolic balance.
