DHEA Sulphate (DHEA-S) Blood Test – At-Home Hormone Health Check
Monitor Your DHEA-S Levels with a Simple Blood Test
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.
What is DHEA-S?
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.
Why Test DHEA-S Levels?
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.

Understanding Your Results

-
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.
Conditions Linked to Abnormal DHEA-S Levels
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
