FAQ
What is premature adrenarche?
It is seen that girls with earlier signs of premature adrenarche could potentially develop polycystic ovarian syndrome later on in life; similarly, some boys might observe penile enlargement prior to adulthood.
What does DHEA do during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, the fetal adrenal gland secretes large quantities of DHEA/DHEAS and their 16-hydroxylated metabolites. These serve as precursors for the placenta to produce estriol – a crucial estrogen in gestation.
What might affect the DHEA results?
The results of DHEA tests can fluctuate depending on one's menstrual cycle, so it is recommended to schedule this test a week prior to or subsequent to your period. In addition, DHEA supplements should also be avoided

DHEA Test in Palanpur

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the DHEA test in Palanpur to assess levels of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to check whether your adrenal glands are functioning properly.
Overview of the DHEA Test in Ahmedabad
The DHEA test detects levels of DHEA in a blood sample. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a major precursor to many sex hormones. Produced in the adrenal gland, it mainly circulates as DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate). Both forms are albumin-bound, but DHEA-S binds more tightly than the non-sulfated form DHEA, resulting in much higher circulating concentrations of DHEA-S. In certain tissues like gonads and skin, steroid sulfatases can convert DHEA-S to regular DHEA for further metabolism into stronger forms of androgens and estrogens. This hormone is responsible for the production of testosterone and estrogen (male and female sex hormones respectively) and also helps in the development of male puberty.
Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a reliable DHEA Test in Palanpur with timely reports.
Why and When is a DHEA Test Done
The DHEA test aids in the diagnosis of:
- Hyperandrogenism (in conjunction with measurements of other sex steroids).
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)
- Premature adrenarche
- PCOS
Elevated DHEA/DHEAS levels can cause signs of hyperandrogenism in women and, though uncommon, men may occasionally experience mild estrogen excess. In most cases the elevation is idiopathic; however, greater rises can indicate underlying adrenal tumors or congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency which commonly arises during childhood.
For accurate and reliable test results, you can head to Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for a DHEA Test in Palanpur.
