DHEA-SO4 is a stable form of DHEA that plays a role in producing male and female sex hormones. The test helps evaluate adrenal health and diagnose hormone-related conditions, especially in cases of excess androgens (male hormones) in females or puberty disorders.

Why is the Test Done?

Doctors use the DHEA-SO4 test to:

  • Diagnose adrenal tumors or hyperplasia.
  • Evaluate androgen levels in women with PCOS or excessive hair growth.
  • Assess precocious (early) or delayed puberty.
  • Monitor adrenal gland function.

Who Should Get This Test?

  • Women with irregular periods, infertility, or excessive hair growth.
  • Men with abnormal testosterone levels or symptoms of adrenal disorders.
  • Children with early or delayed puberty.

Test Procedure & Preparation

  • A blood sample is drawn from a vein.
  • No fasting is required, but avoiding certain medications before the test may be necessary.
  • It is best done in the morning when hormone levels are highest.

Understanding the Results

  • High DHEA-SO4 Levels: This may indicate adrenal tumors, PCOS, or congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
  • Low DHEA-SO4 Levels: Could suggest adrenal insufficiency or aging-related decline.

This test is crucial for identifying adrenal gland disorders and guiding treatment decisions.
