DHEA-S Test
The DHEA-S Test from GetTested measures dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in blood, a hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. DHEA-S is a precursor to both androgens and estrogens and plays a vital role in energy levels, mood, immune function, and overall hormonal balance. Abnormal levels may reflect adrenal dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, or age-related decline.
What is DHEA-S?
DHEA-S is the sulfated form of DHEA, which serves as a building block for sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. It is secreted mainly by the adrenal glands, with smaller contributions from the ovaries and testes. DHEA-S levels naturally peak in early adulthood and decline with age.
Why measure DHEA-S?
Testing DHEA-S levels provides important insights into:
- Adrenal gland function and possible adrenal insufficiency or overactivity
- Hormonal imbalances affecting energy, mood, or libido
- Fertility and reproductive health in both men and women
- Age-related hormonal decline and overall endocrine health
- Support in evaluating conditions such as PCOS, adrenal tumors, or premature menopause
When is testing relevant?
The DHEA-S Test may be recommended if you are experiencing symptoms such as persistent fatigue, low libido, mood swings, irregular periods, infertility, or unexplained hair loss or growth. It can also be useful in assessing adrenal function when other hormones are abnormal.
Key benefits of the DHEA-S Test
- Measures an important adrenal hormone linked to both androgen and estrogen production
- Provides insights into energy, mood, fertility, and aging
- Useful for evaluating adrenal function and reproductive health
- Supports early detection of hormonal imbalances and chronic conditions
How the test works
The DHEA-S Test is performed using a simple dried blood spot (DBS) sample collected at home with a finger prick. The sample is sent to our accredited laboratory for analysis, and results are delivered digitally, providing secure and convenient access to your hormone health insights.
