What is DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE (DHT)?

The Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test measures the level of this potent hormone in your blood. DHT is a derivative of testosterone and plays a significant role in male characteristics and development.

Why is this test important?

This test is useful in investigating conditions related to hormone imbalances, such as hair loss (androgenic alopecia), prostate enlargement, and certain hormonal disorders in both men and women. It helps understand the underlying cause of these symptoms.
