STEROID PANEL FOR PREMATURE ADRENARCHE
Premature adrenarche is a condition where children experience the onset of puberty earlier than usual. This can be a cause for concern for parents and caregivers, as it can affect the child’s physical and emotional well-being. One of the diagnostic tools used to identify premature adrenarche is a steroid panel test. DNA Labs India offers this test at a cost of INR 4500.
Symptoms of Premature Adrenarche
Some of the common symptoms of premature adrenarche include:
- Appearance of pubic or underarm hair before the age of 8 in girls and 9 in boys
- Acne
- Body odor
- Early growth spurt
- Breast development in girls
- Deepening of voice in boys
If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a pediatrician for further evaluation.
Diagnosis of Premature Adrenarche
In addition to a physical examination and medical history, doctors may recommend a steroid panel test to diagnose premature adrenarche. This test measures the levels of various hormones in the body, including:
- DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
- DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)
- Androstenedione
- Testosterone
Elevated levels of these hormones can indicate premature adrenarche.

Adrenarche refers to a maturational increase in the secretion of adrenal androgen precursors, mainly Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulphate (DHEAS). In premature adrenarche (PA), clinical signs of androgen action appear before the age of 8 – 9 years in girls/boys, concurrently with the circulating DHEAS concentrations above the usually low prepubertal level.
