Why is this test important :-
DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) is a male hormone (androgen) that is made in the adrenal glands. The body turns it into testosterone. A test for DHEA-S checks the level of this hormone in the blood.
This test is usually done along with tests of other hormone levels. DHEA-S might be tested to:
- Look for the cause of facial hair, a deep voice, or other signs of too much male hormone in a girl or woman. It may be one of the tests done to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOD.
- To help find other conditions, such as:
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This is a condition that causes the adrenal glands to make too much male sex hormone.
- Infertility.
- Delayed puberty.
- Cushing’s disease.
- A tumor in an adrenal gland.
