Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is synthesized in the adrenal glands (95%) and in the ovaries (5%), excreted in urine and constitutes the main fraction of 17α-ketosteroids. The determination of its concentration in the blood replaces the study of 17α-ketosteroids of urine.
Opioids refer to substances that cause physical and psychological dependence. Opium is produced from opium poppy juice (Papaver somniferum), it contains more than 20 different alkaloids, the most famous of which is morphine.

When fibrin fibers are cleaved, fragments are formed-D-dimers. When determining the content of D-dimers with the help of specific antisera, one can judge to what extent fibrinolysis, but not fibrogenolysis, is expressed in the test blood. The increased content of D-dimer is one of the main markers of activation of the hemostasis system, since it reflects both the formation of fibrin in the blood under study, and its lysis.
