Can an elevated DHEAS of 475 cause hair loss?

Question

I have an elevated DHEAS level of 475. But ALL other hormone levels and blood test were in normal range. PCOS was ruled out. Could this elevated DHEAS level have anything to do with my hair loss? Has been on going for 10 months.

In my opinion Yes DHEA can be a cause for androgenic hair loss. You should consult an endocrinologist to evaluate the cause of the DHEAs and then you can receive proper treatment.

There are many different causes of hair loss in women. You need to be evaluated by hair restoration specialist to find the cause and Recommend the best treatment option for you.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The levels of DHEA vary but the cause of hair loss in women are very complex and can not be attributed to one thing. The web reference below discusses DHEA levels but I believe you need more than that to find out if you have an identified cause for hair loss
