Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S)/Cortisol [Molar ratio] in Serum or Plasma
Active
Term Description
Dehydroepiandrosterone-S (DHEA-S) and cortisol are both hormones that are produced by the adrenal glands and secreted in response to stress. DHEA-S/cortisol ratio may indicate the degree to which an individual is buffered against the negative effects of stress. This ratio has been used as an index of adrenocortical function to identify patients with panic disorder, as they may have significantly higher values. PMID: 2527376

LP15527-2 Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) testing is used to evaluate adrenal function and to distinguish androgen secreting conditions that are caused by the adrenal glands from those that originate in the ovaries or testes. DHEAS testing is performed to diagnose tumors in the cortex of the adrenal gland (adrenocortical tumors), adrenal cancers, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia or adult-onset adrenal hyperplasia and to separate these conditions from ovarian tumors and cancers.
