MomtoGiuliana Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I didn't think there was an accepted reference normal level of DHEA?I would talk to an endocrinologist.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmpower Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I forget if you are on medication, because sometimes these can interfere with conversion to DHEA. Or maybe your DHEA is rapidly becoming downstream hormones. Is anything high or high normal?OLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanzanite Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Usually it means that if your cortisol level is normal and DHEA is low then you are in the first stage of adrenal insufficency. I was told this by a Dr and I have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
