Description:
Evaluate adrenal carcinomas that frequently secrete large amounts of DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an important hormone produced in the adrenal glands. Appropriate levels of DHEA are associated with increased energy, healthy immune system, heart health, good memory and elevated mood. DHEA helps in the production of testosterone therefore a decrease in DHEA results in a decrease of testosrerone. It is also essential in the function and balance of other hormones. DHEA is a weakly androgenic steroid that is useful when congenital adrenal hyperplasia is suspected. It is also useful in determining the source of androgens in hyperandrogenic conditions, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and adrenal tumors.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
