A member asked:
Can dhea (dehydroepiandrosterone) cause me to fail a urine screen?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: DHEA is a naturally occurring hormone made by the adrenals and is has weak male hormone activity but can be converted to testosterone in the body. Whether it helps build muscle mass is unclear but urine screens are not based on measuring DHEA which is always present

Depends: It would depend on what the urine is tested for. DHEA is not usually tested for.
