Overview
DHEAS stands for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It is often measured in blood tests to evaluate adrenal function and diagnose conditions such as adrenal insufficiency or polycystic ovary syndrome. The test is typically performed on a blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm and results are usually available within a few days. Abnormal DHEAS levels may require further testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider.
Who should do this test?
Individuals with suspected adrenal insufficiency: DHEAS is primarily produced by the adrenal glands, and measuring its levels in the blood can help diagnose adrenal insufficiency, a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones.
Women with suspected polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): DHEAS is one of several androgens produced by the ovaries, and elevated levels of DHEAS can be a sign of PCOS, a condition characterized by hormonal imbalances and ovarian cysts.
Individuals with hirsutism: Hirsutism is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in women, often caused by hormonal imbalances. Elevated levels of DHEAS can be a sign of hirsutism and may help guide appropriate treatment.
What to do if the test is abnormal?
Consult with a physician: If the result of DHEAS is abnormal, the person should consult with a physician who has knowledge and experience in interpreting laboratory test results. The physician will review the patients medical history, symptoms, and other test results to determine the cause of the abnormal DHEAS level.
Further testing: The physician may recommend further testing to confirm the abnormal DHEAS result and to determine the underlying cause. Additional tests may include a cortisol test, ACTH test, or imaging studies to evaluate the adrenal glands.
Treatment: The treatment of abnormal DHEAS levels depends on the underlying cause. Treatment may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery. The physician will work with the patient to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs and medical history.
