What is the DHEA - Sulphate (DHEAS)?
DHEA-Sulphate (DHEAS) is a hormone produced mainly by the adrenal glands, which the body converts into other sex hormones like testosterone and oestrogen. It’s used to evaluate adrenal gland function and conditions of excess androgen production.
Why is the DHEA - Sulphate (DHEAS) done?
Ordered to investigate symptoms of excess androgen (in women: acne, excess hair growth, irregular periods) and to evaluate adrenal gland disorders.
It can help your doctor assess
PCOS and other androgen-excess conditions, and adrenal gland disorders (including, rarely, adrenal tumours).
Who may need this test?
This test may be considered for:
- Women with symptoms suggestive of PCOS or other androgen-excess conditions
- People being evaluated for adrenal gland tumours or disorders.
Whether this test is right for you depends on your symptoms, medical history and the reason for testing - your doctor can advise.
What does this test measure?
The concentration of DHEA-sulphate in the blood - a more stable marker of adrenal androgen production than testosterone alone, since it doesn’t fluctuate as much through the day.
DHEA-S
Adrenal Androgen
A stable marker of adrenal androgen production, useful for distinguishing adrenal versus ovarian sources of excess androgen in women.
Understanding your DHEA - Sulphate (DHEAS) results
How to read your result
Your report should be read using the reference interval, unit and method shown by the performing laboratory. A result outside a reference interval does not automatically establish a diagnosis, and a result inside the interval does not rule out every health problem. Clinical interpretation depends on symptoms, history and other findings.
| Marker | Result | What it may be associated with |
|---|---|---|
| DHEA-S | High | Can indicate an adrenal source of excess androgen production - your doctor may investigate further, especially if levels are significantly elevated. |
If a result is outside the range
If the DHEA - Sulphate (DHEAS) is reported as high, low, positive, negative or otherwise outside the laboratory's stated interval, the meaning depends on the specific test and the reason it was ordered. Your clinician may consider repeat testing, related investigations or other clinical information before deciding what the result means.
Limitations of this test
DHEA-S is one part of a broader hormone workup for androgen-excess symptoms - it’s interpreted alongside testosterone and clinical symptoms.
An abnormal result does not by itself mean you have a particular disease. Your doctor interprets results together with your symptoms, history and other tests.
DHEA - Sulphate (DHEAS) normal range
| Parameter | Reference range | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| DHEA-S (women) | 65 - 380 | µg/dL |
| DHEA-S (men) | 110 - 510 | µg/dL |
Typical adult ranges for guidance. Reference intervals vary with the laboratory method, age and sex - always read your result against the range printed on your own report.
How should I prepare for the DHEA - Sulphate (DHEAS)?
- No fasting is needed - you can eat and drink normally.
- Drink water as usual - being well hydrated makes the blood draw easier.
- Tell the collection team about any medicines and supplements you take.
- Do not stop prescribed medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
- Follow any additional instructions our team shares when you book.

What can affect the result?
Age (levels naturally decline with age) and certain medicines can affect DHEA-S levels.
When should you talk to a doctor?
Laboratory results are interpreted together with your symptoms, medical history and other investigations. If your results are significantly abnormal, or you have symptoms that worry you, discuss them with a qualified doctor promptly.
