DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone that the body converts into testosterone and estrogen. The DHEA test measures its levels to evaluate adrenal gland function and diagnose hormonal disorders. It is essential for individuals with hormonal imbalance, infertility, or abnormal hair growth symptoms.

Why is the Test Done?

Doctors may recommend the DHEA test to:

  • Assess adrenal gland function.
  • Diagnose PCOS (in women) or testosterone imbalances (in men).
  • Evaluate adrenal tumors, hyperplasia, or insufficiency.
  • Investigate early or delayed puberty.

Who Should Get This Test?

This test is advised for individuals experiencing:

  • Unexplained fatigue or muscle weakness.
  • Irregular menstrual cycles or infertility issues (women).
  • Excessive hair growth or acne.
  • Development of masculine traits in females.

Test Procedure & Preparation

  • A blood sample is drawn from a vein.
  • No fasting is required, but certain medications (steroids, hormone therapies) may affect results.
  • Patients should inform their doctor about any supplements or medications they are taking.

Understanding the Results

  • Normal DHEA Levels: Indicate healthy adrenal function.
  • High DHEA Levels: This may indicate PCOS, adrenal tumors, or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
  • Low DHEA Levels: This could be due to adrenal insufficiency or aging.

Proper interpretation by a doctor is necessary to determine the cause and necessary treatment.
