About Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) Blood Test in Gilbert
DHEA is one of the most abundant circulating steroid hormones in the body, and its blood level reflects adrenal output.
DHEA is synthesized in the adrenal cortex and, in smaller amounts, in the gonads. It circulates largely in a sulfated form known as DHEA-S, which has a longer half-life and is often measured alongside the unconjugated hormone.
Clinicians order a DHEA blood test to investigate symptoms that may point to adrenal dysfunction, such as unexplained fatigue, changes in body hair, or irregular menstrual cycles. It can also be used when an adrenal tumor or enzyme deficiency is suspected.
Results are interpreted in the context of the patient's age, sex, and clinical picture, since reference ranges vary and DHEA levels naturally decline with age. A single value is rarely diagnostic on its own.
