    What is Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    The DHEAS test is a blood test that measures the amount of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in the body. DHEAS is a hormone primarily produced by the adrenal glands, which are two small glands situated right above each kidney. DHEAS plays a key role in forming male and female sex hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen.

    Doctors use the DHEAS test to assess adrenal gland function and to help diagnose certain health conditions. For example, DHEAS levels can help diagnose issues of the adrenal glands, ovaries, or testicles. This test can also help uncover the cause of certain symptoms, such as early or delayed puberty in boys, or the development of male-like traits in women, like increased facial or body hair and a lower voice.

    The Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate test is often done alongside other tests that check levels of sex hormones, like testosterone in men and oestrogen in women. Together, these tests give doctors a more complete picture of hormone health and help diagnose problems related to hormone imbalances.

    Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test Parameters

    The Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Test measures one key parameter: the level of DHEAS hormone in the blood.

    DHEAS is a type of androgen, which is a male sex hormone, but it is present in both men and women. In smaller amounts, DHEAS is also produced in the testicles and ovaries.

    DHEAS is primarily made by the adrenal glands and converted by the body into other hormones such as testosterone and androstenedione, which are androgens (male hormones), and oestrogen, which is a female sex hormone. Men typically produce more testosterone, while women produce more oestrogen, but all genders produce and use these hormones.

    The DHEAS test is crucial for the development of male sex characteristics during puberty, such as a deeper voice and increased muscle mass. It is also essential for reproductive health in both men and women. By measuring DHEAS levels, doctors can evaluate hormone balance and adrenal gland function.

    Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test Preparation

    Consider the following before scheduling a DHEAS Test in Bangalore:

    • Prerequisites

    You do not have to fast before undergoing a Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    This test can be scheduled at any time of day.

    • Who Should Get This Test

    This test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as unusual hair growth, irregular periods, early or delayed puberty, or anyone being evaluated for adrenal gland function and reproductive health concerns.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No specific preparation is usually needed before the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Test. However, consult your doctor before undergoing the test to ensure it's appropriate for your situation.

    Why Take the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    The Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate test is recommended if you show signs of unusually high or low levels of this hormone. Men often have no visible symptoms of elevated DHEAS, but women and girls may experience distinct signs if their levels are too high.

    Common symptoms of high DHEAS in women and girls include:

    • Increased body and facial hair growth

    • Voice deepening

    • Irregular menstrual cycles

    • Increased acne

    • Noticeable muscle growth

    • Loss of hair or hair thinning across the scalp

    In some cases, baby girls with high DHEAS may have ambiguous genitalia (external genitalia that cannot be recognised clearly as male or female). Boys with early signs of puberty might also need this test to check for elevated DHEAS levels.

    Low DHEAS levels may result from various causes, including adrenal gland issues. Symptoms of low DHEAS due to adrenal problems can include:

    • Unexplained weight loss

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Frequent dizziness

    • Dehydration

    • A strong craving for salt

    If low DHEAS levels are related to ageing, symptoms include:

    • Reduced interest in sexual activity

    • Erectile issues in men

    • Thinning of vaginal tissue in women

    A DHEAS test helps identify the cause of these symptoms and can guide appropriate treatment options, particularly if hormone imbalance or adrenal gland issues are suspected.

    • Good experience everytime except one where phlebotomist didn't prick correctly. My wife had much pain even after few days and it looked like some clot had happened. But it was one in almost 20 visits. I would still recommend. One suggestion to Orange would be to keep Lithium tests within a day so we could get test results faster
