The Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) test measures the level of DHEA, the most abundant circulating adrenal androgen (male hormone), in the blood. DHEA is produced primarily by the adrenal glands and, to a lesser extent, by the ovaries and testes.
DHEA serves as the essential precursor molecule that the body uses to synthesise more potent sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Therefore, measuring DHEA is critical for evaluating adrenal gland function and investigating hormone imbalances.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL Accredited Lab in Delhi, we provide accurate DHEA testing to support the precise diagnosis of endocrine disorders.
