What is DHEA-S (Salivary, LC-MS)?

DHEA-S is the principal adrenal androgen precursor, produced by the adrenal cortex and declining progressively with age. Salivary DHEA-S is taken to reflect adrenal androgen output. It is interpreted as a marker of adrenal steroidogenic activity alongside cortisol.

Why is DHEA-S (Salivary, LC-MS) measured?

Salivary DHEA-S is used to assess adrenal androgen production, often interpreted together with the cortisol curve as part of a broader adrenal and hormonal assessment in functional practice. Serum DHEA-S remains the more established measure for defined adrenal disorders.
