DHEA-SULFATE 0000402

DHEA Sulfate helps to evaluate adrenal gland function and helps to detect adrenal gland tumors or cancers. It also helps to determine the cause of virilization in females or early puberty in boys. A doctor might check this test when a woman has excess facial and body hair (hirsutism), acne, amenorrhea, or infertility or when a male child is undergoing very early (precocious) puberty or a female child is showing signs of virilization.
