What is the ACTH Stimulation Test for DHEAS?
The ACTH Stimulation Test for DHEAS measures how the adrenal glands respond to stimulation with Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH). DHEAS is an important steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands and plays a role in the production of androgen and estrogen hormones. Measuring hormone levels before and after ACTH stimulation helps assess adrenal gland function and detect hormonal disorders.
Who should take this test?
- Patients suspected of having congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
- Individuals with symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
- Evaluation of abnormal androgen hormone levels.
- Patients with suspected adrenal gland disorders.
- Doctor-advised endocrine system evaluation.
Preparation & Test Process
2) ACTH hormone is administered.
3) Second and third blood samples are collected at specific time intervals.
4) DHEAS levels are analyzed to evaluate adrenal gland response.
How to interpret results
Results compare baseline and stimulated DHEAS levels.
Normal response indicates healthy adrenal gland hormone production.
Abnormal results may suggest adrenal gland dysfunction,
congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or other endocrine disorders.
Results should always be interpreted by an endocrinologist along with
clinical findings and additional hormone tests.
