The DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) test measures the level of dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen hormone derived from testosterone. DHT plays a key role in male sexual development and influences hair growth, prostate health, and androgen-related activity in both men and women.
This test is commonly used to evaluate androgen balance and may be helpful in assessing conditions such as hair loss, acne, hirsutism, prostate concerns, or disorders of androgen excess or deficiency. Results are interpreted alongside testosterone and other hormone levels for a more complete hormonal assessment.
