A member asked:

Is 599 mcg/dl dhea sulfate level considered to be mildly, moderately, or significantly elevated for 18 yo female?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

This level is: Mildly elevated, but could be lower or higher if level is repeated. Check w/your doctor. Ask about androgen excess syndromes, including pcos. If overweight, get on diet and exercise to lose pounds.
