DHEA Price in Bangladesh

What is DHEA?

DHEA-SO4 (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, serving as a precursor to androgens and estrogens. This blood test helps evaluate adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions like adrenal tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or hirsutism.

Elevated levels may indicate excessive adrenal activity, while low levels can suggest adrenal insufficiency or aging. Results guide diagnosis and treatment planning.

What to expect & how to prepare

DHEA is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your DHEA result rather than self-diagnosing.
