Dehydroepiandrosteronesulfate (DHEA-S) is a steroid hormone, produced mainly from the adrenal glands that are located over the both kidneys.
Though it's an androgen hormone (a male sex hormone), it's produced by both men and women. This steroid hormone plays an important role in the making of testosterone in men and oestrogen in women.
The test is used to evaluate the function of the adrenal glands, to detect cancers and tumours, male hypogonadism, virilisation (development of hair and male characteristics in women), acne, increased muscle mass, and irregular or absence of menstrual periods, polycystic ovary syndrome, development of early sexual characteristics in boys.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is the blood sample taken?
To take the blood sample, a tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins and it becomes easy to collect the blood. The skin is cleaned before inserting the needle in the vein in order to prevent bacteria from entering. Needle is inserted into the vein of the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.
