What is Pregnenolone Sulphate?

The Pregnenolone Sulphate test measures a sulfated form of pregnenolone, a key steroid hormone precursor. This form is more stable in the bloodstream and also plays a vital role in the synthesis of other hormones.

Why is this test important?

This test is often used to assess adrenal gland function and investigate steroid hormone imbalances, similar to pregnenolone but providing a more consistent measurement. It helps in understanding the broader hormonal landscape.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please follow specific instructions from your doctor or the lab.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
