The lab analyst performs an analysis of dehydroepiandrosterone, known as an unconjugated form of DHEA. It is a major precursor of 17–ketosteroids, which the body forms when it breaks down certain hormones. Lab analysts commonly perform the test on a serum specimen. Clinicians primarily use the testing to determine adrenal gland function.
