Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulfate Analysis for Adrenal Hormones

The lab analyst performs an analysis of dehydroepiandrosterone–sulfate, which is a major precursor of 17–ketosteroids that the body forms when it breaks down certain hormones. Clinicians order this test to determine adrenal hormone problems, such as the evaluation of delayed puberty and hirsutism. Elevated levels are associated with adrenal neoplasm, ovarian disorders, Cushing’s disease, and other causes of adrenal hyperplasia. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
