DHEA-S

This test measures the levels of DHEA sulfate (DHEAS) in your blood. DHEAS stands for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. DHEAS is mostly made in the adrenal glands, two small glands located above your kidneys. Your adrenal glands help control your heart rate, blood pressure, and other body functions. They make different types of hormones you need to stay healthy.

These labs do not agree for female · 65 y – 74 y: the published adult ranges differ by up to 2.3×, so the same result can read as normal at one lab and be flagged at another — ARUP 9–246 · LabCorp 20.4–186.6 ug/dL. Both are real published values, shown as each lab states them.
