    What is Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    The DHEAS test measures the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, a hormone produced mainly by the adrenal glands located above the kidneys. This hormone is crucial for producing sex hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen.

    Doctors may order the DHEAS test to evaluate adrenal gland function and aid in diagnosing various health conditions. DHEAS levels can help identify issues in the adrenal glands, ovaries, or testicles, and also clarify symptoms such as early or delayed puberty in boys or the appearance of masculine traits in women, like excess facial hair and a lower voice.

    The test is frequently combined with other hormone tests, such as testosterone in men and oestrogen in women, to provide a thorough assessment of hormone health and detect imbalances.

    Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test Parameters

    The Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Test evaluates the amount of DHEAS in the bloodstream.

    DHEAS is a type of androgen or male sex hormone that exists in both genders. It is mainly produced by the adrenal glands, with smaller contributions from the ovaries and testicles.

    This hormone acts as a precursor to testosterone and androstenedione (male hormones) and oestrogen (a female hormone). Men naturally produce more testosterone, while women produce higher levels of oestrogen, though both rely on these hormones for various physiological processes.

    Doctors use this test to monitor male puberty indicators such as a deeper voice and muscle growth and to assess reproductive health and adrenal function across genders.

    Important factors to consider before booking a DHEAS Test in Gurgaon:

    • Prerequisites Fasting is not required for the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested You may schedule the test at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test This test is commonly advised for individuals experiencing signs of hormonal imbalances, such as abnormal hair growth, irregular cycles, puberty abnormalities, or those undergoing evaluation for adrenal and reproductive health concerns.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test Generally, no preparation is needed before the test. Still, it is always best to consult your doctor to confirm if the test is necessary based on your symptoms or condition.

    Why Take the Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Test?

    A Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate test is recommended for those with signs of high or low DHEAS. Men often lack clear symptoms, while women and girls may show noticeable signs if DHEAS levels are high.

    • Voice deepening

    • Irregular menstrual cycles

    • Acne

    • Increased muscle growth

    • Scalp hair thinning or loss

    High DHEAS may cause ambiguous genitalia in baby girls, and boys with early puberty signs might require this test.

    Symptoms of low DHEAS from adrenal issues:

    • Unexplained weight loss

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Dizziness

    • Dehydration

    • Strong craving for salt

    Age-related low DHEAS symptoms include:

    • Decreased sexual interest
