DHEA-Sulfate

DHEA-Sulfate (DHEA-S) is a blood test that measures the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, a sulfated form of the hormone DHEA produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S serves as a precursor to sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, and is involved in various physiological processes, such as metabolism and immune response. This test is often used to evaluate adrenal function and diagnose conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as adrenal insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and hirsutism (excess hair growth).
