This test measures the levels of DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) in your blood. DHEAS stands for
dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. DHEAS is a male sex hormone that is found in both men
and women. DHEAS plays an important role in making the male sex hormone testosterone
and the female sex hormone estrogen. It’s also involved in the development of male sexual
characteristics at puberty.DHEAS is mostly made in the adrenal glands, two small glands
located above your kidneys. They help control heart rate, blood pressure, and other body
functions. Smaller amounts of DHEAS are made in a man’s testicles and in a woman’s
ovaries. If your DHEAS levels are not normal, it may mean there is a problem with your
adrenal glands or sex organs (testicles or ovaries.)
