The dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) test measures the level of DHEA-S in your blood. DHEA-S is a hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, and it serves as a precursor to other hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen. The DHEA-S test is a valuable diagnostic tool for assessing adrenal gland function, diagnosing hormonal disorders, evaluating puberty and development, monitoring hormone replacement therapy, and understanding age-related hormonal changes. By providing insights into DHEA-S levels, the test helps healthcare providers diagnose conditions, manage treatments, and improve overall health outcomes.
