Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Test

The Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Test measures levels of DHT, a potent androgen derived from testosterone, to evaluate hormone balance. Abnormal results may indicate hair loss, prostate disorders, infertility, or hormonal imbalance. Doctors order this test for men and women with symptoms such as hair thinning, acne, irregular periods, or low libido. It is also used to monitor treatment for prostate disease or hormone therapy, providing insight into reproductive and endocrine health.
