DHEA-SULPHATE (DHEAS)

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) is a steroid hormone that plays a key role in the development of secondary sexual traits during puberty. Although it's an androgen (a male hormone), it's found in both men and women. The hormone is released under the control of the adrenocorticotropic hormone from the pituitary gland. 

This test checks the levels of DHEA-S in your blood. High levels can lead to early puberty in boys, while in girls it can cause excess body hair, irregular periods, or ambiguous genitalia. The DHEA-S test is also useful for diagnosing conditions like Cushing’s syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and adrenal tumors.
