The Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test measures the level of DHT, a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone, in the blood. DHT plays a critical role in the development of male sexual characteristics, prostate growth, hair distribution, and overall reproductive health. This test helps evaluate conditions linked to abnormal androgen activity, such as hair loss, prostate disorders, infertility, and hormonal imbalances. Elevated DHT may indicate benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer risk, or androgenic alopecia, while low levels may relate to delayed puberty or underdeveloped sexual traits. It is often ordered alongside testosterone tests to provide a clearer hormonal profile for diagnosis and treatment planning.
