When I had the ACTH STIM test last week they also tested DHEA-s and DHEA, Cortisol and Prlactin (they dd not test ACTH for a baseline).
I have reported the STIM results in another thread but I picked up the actual labs today and found it looks like they did a DHEA-s and DHEA before and after (there are two labs for each one).
8/31/13 1:03 AM
DHEA - 8.960 High range (0.60-5.73 ng/ml)
9/01/13 9:44PM
DHEA - 2.160 range (0.60-5.73 ng/ml)
This one makes even less sense two different results, same collection date and time, same resulted date and time, I dont know which one should go first, not that it seems to matter.
08/30/13 10:45AM
DHEA-s 148.9 mcg/dl range(8.0-391)
08/30/13 10:45AM
DHEA-s 135.3 mcg/dl range(8.0-391)
I am assuming the flag on the after (and I am assuming it is after) being high is due to the STIM test, is that expected? The lab/s say they were collected at the same time 912:01) but the 'resulted times' are different. One result is 8/31 and the other is 9/1. Are they checking the same blood just over a period of time? So forget the before an after time above. Going to put reuslt dates instead since it appears it is from the same collection.
