Quick answer
A DHEA sulfate test is a blood test that measures dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, an androgen produced mainly by the adrenal glands. It is often ordered when a provider wants to assess adrenal androgen production, investigate signs such as excess hair growth or acne in women, or evaluate symptoms that may relate to hormonal imbalance. The result is interpreted with age and sex in mind.
About this test in Benton
DHEA sulfate is the sulfated form of DHEA and is one of the most abundant steroid hormones in circulation. Because it has a longer half-life than unconjugated DHEA, it is often preferred for assessing adrenal androgen output. Levels are naturally highest in early adulthood and decline with age, so reference ranges are stratified accordingly.
The test uses a serum sample collected from a vein, and no special preparation is usually required, though some laboratories may request a morning draw. Results are reported as a concentration with an age- and sex-specific reference range from the performing laboratory. Serial measurements can help a provider track changes over time.
People may order this test when evaluating adrenal function, unexplained androgen symptoms, or a possible adrenal condition. It is also used in some fertility and hormone evaluations, and in monitoring contexts determined by a provider. It is not a standalone diagnostic tool, and results should be interpreted alongside the broader clinical picture.
