DHEA Sulfate Test
Reviewed
A DHEA sulfate test measures the level of DHEAS in the blood to check adrenal gland function and diagnose related disorders.
Preparation and collection
No special preparation is needed.
Understanding this test
Use the reference interval and units printed by the laboratory that performed the test. A result outside that interval is not a diagnosis by itself, and a result inside it does not rule out every condition. Your symptoms, history, medicines, timing, and related tests can change what the result means.
- Your results are interpreted together with your symptoms, age, sex, medical history, and other blood tests. The test does not diagnose a condition on its own.

What to do next
Your healthcare provider will interpret the results together with your symptoms, age, sex, medical history, and other test results. No special preparation is needed. Over-the-counter DHEA supplements are not supported by reliable evidence and may cause serious side effects.
