# Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

> This test measures the amount of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a hormone produced by your adrenal glands that your body converts into other hormones. Doctors use this test to evaluate adrenal health, specifically to look for tumors that may be releasing excessive amounts of this hormone. It helps determine if an adrenal mass or gland disorder is responsible for symptoms related to hormone imbalance. However, this test cannot diagnose cancer or a specific adrenal disease by itself and must be interpreted alongside other clinical findings.
