DHEA Sulphate (DHEAS) Blood Test
DHEA Sulphate (DHEAS) Blood Test
The DHEA Sulphate (DHEAS) Blood Test is an important diagnostic tool used to evaluate levels of DHEA-S, a key hormone involved in the body’s production of sex steroids such as testosterone and oestrogen. This test helps assess adrenal gland function, hormone imbalances, and can provide insight into conditions related to ageing, fertility, and metabolic health. Supported by clinical research from endocrinology experts at leading institutions such as University College London and referenced in guidelines from the British Society for Endocrinology, DHEAS testing is widely used in both general health and specialist hormone assessments.
What Does It Test For?
This test measures the concentration of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) in your blood, a hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S acts as a precursor to important sex hormones and plays a role in the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Abnormal DHEA-S levels can indicate adrenal gland disorders such as adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal tumours, or be associated with hormonal imbalances seen in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and early or delayed puberty. Measuring DHEA-S provides valuable information on your hormonal status and overall endocrine health.
