DHEA Sulfate, Immunoassay

This test measures the levels of DHEA-S, a major androgen produced by the adrenal glands. It's particularly useful for understanding issues related to hirsutism (excessive hair growth) or virilization in females, diagnosing conditions like premature adrenarche (early onset puberty), and identifying adrenal tumors. It's noteworthy that around 10% of women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) who experience excessive hair growth have high DHEA-S levels but normal levels of other androgens.

Hi! I’m Natalie, a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Unmask Psychiatry. I specialize in working with high-masking adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, autism, chronic illness, and overlapping mental health patterns. I have a special interest in the complex intersection of neurodivergence, immune and inflammatory conditions, connective tissue disorders, and dysautonomia, including autism, ADHD, MCAS, EDS/hypermobility, POTS, and autoimmunity. At Unmask Psychiatry, my approach is slow, validating, and thorough. I provide neurodivergent evaluations, comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and holistic care that recognizes the connection between mental health, physical health, and identity.
