DHEA-S: units, conversion and tracking
Updated
Short answer
DHEA-S is reported in µg/dL, µmol/L and ng/mL. 1 µmol/L = 36.85 µg/dL.

What is DHEA-S?
DHEA sulphate is an adrenal hormone and a precursor to sex hormones.
BiomarkerHQ groups DHEA-S under Hormones. On lab reports it can also appear as dheas, dhea sulfate, dhea sulphate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate.
DHEA-S units and conversion
BiomarkerHQ stores each DHEA-S result in the unit printed on the report, and charts and compares results in µg/dL.
1 µmol/L = 36.85 µg/dL
1 µg/dL = 0.02714 µmol/L
1 ng/mL = 0.1 µg/dL
1 µg/dL = 10 ng/mL
| µmol/L | µg/dL |
|---|---|
| 1 µmol/L | 36.85 µg/dL |
| 2 µmol/L | 73.7 µg/dL |
| 4 µmol/L | 147.4 µg/dL |
| 6 µmol/L | 221.1 µg/dL |
| 8 µmol/L | 294.8 µg/dL |
| 10 µmol/L | 368.5 µg/dL |
| 12 µmol/L | 442.2 µg/dL |
| µg/dL | µmol/L |
|---|---|
| 50 µg/dL | 1.357 µmol/L |
| 100 µg/dL | 2.714 µmol/L |
| 150 µg/dL | 4.071 µmol/L |
| 200 µg/dL | 5.427 µmol/L |
| 250 µg/dL | 6.784 µmol/L |
| 300 µg/dL | 8.141 µmol/L |
| 400 µg/dL | 10.85 µmol/L |
For another value, use the lab unit converter. It converts units only and does not interpret a result.
Tracking DHEA-S over time
In BiomarkerHQ, each DHEA-S result is saved with its collection date, its unit and the reference range printed on that report. The timeline charts the results across your draws against the range from each of your own reports, and any two draws can be compared side by side.
- Keep the unit printed on each report. Convert only to compare.
- Keep each report's own range with its result. See why ranges differ between labs.
- Compare the same lab and conditions where you can. See how to compare two blood tests.
Frequently asked questions
Which units do labs report DHEA-S in?
DHEA-S is reported in µg/dL, µmol/L and ng/mL. BiomarkerHQ stores each result in the unit printed on the report and uses µg/dL for charts and comparisons.
How do I convert DHEA-S from µmol/L to µg/dL?
1 µmol/L = 36.85 µg/dL. For example, 6 µmol/L is 221.1 µg/dL.
How do I convert DHEA-S from µg/dL to µmol/L?
1 µg/dL = 0.02714 µmol/L. For example, 200 µg/dL is 5.427 µmol/L.
Does BiomarkerHQ interpret my DHEA-S result?
No. It compares a result only with the reference range printed on your own lab report, as below, within or above, and does not say what the result means. Talk to a qualified clinician about your results.
