DHEA Sulfate (DHEAS) Blood Test

DHEA Sulfate (DHEAS) Blood Test


The DHEA-S blood test measures dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S), a hormone produced mainly by the adrenal glands. Abnormal levels may indicate adrenal or hormonal imbalances and can be linked to conditions affecting energy levels, fertility, or physical changes. This test is commonly recommended as part of a hormone health or endocrine assessment. It can be useful for both men and women experiencing unexplained hormonal symptoms.
