I am not familiar with those numbers as different laboratories report values in different stndards. It does not sound elevated to worrisome levels. DHEAS basically measures adrenal gland function. Mildly elevated levels usually are not of much concern. There are some biochemical conditions that may be associated with elevated levels. Sometimes these may be a cause of infertility, and can be treated.
