Dehydroepiandrosterone Test near me in Pune









Available at an affordable price in Pune with Tata 1mg labs, the Dehydroepiandrosterone Test is a blood test that helps evaluate the levels of a dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. This hormone plays an important role in developing male and female sexual characteristics and maintaining overall hormonal balance.
Your doctor may suggest the Dehydroepiandrosterone Test test along with other hormone tests if there are symptoms that may suggest an adrenal disorder, adrenal tumor or another problem. Also, it is often done for women who have signs and symptoms such as no menstrual periods and infertility and when a girl or woman has symptoms related to developing masculine physical characteristics. Infants or children with differences in sex development may also need a DHEAS test. Additionally, the test can be done when young boys show signs of precocious puberty.
An overnight fasting is preferred for the Dehydroepiandrosterone Test but is not mandatory.








What does Dehydroepiandrosterone Test measure?
The Dehydroepiandrosterone Test measures the concentration of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in the blood. This hormone is produced mainly by the adrenal glands, with smaller contributions from the ovaries in women and the testes in men. DHEA is vital for the development of secondary sexual characteristics during puberty and can be converted into more active androgens like testosterone and androstenedione, as well as into estrogens. DHEA levels can help doctors identify conditions like adrenal tumors, hirsutism, and other endocrine disorders, providing insights into hormonal balance within the body.
