About test
What does DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE (DHT) measure?
This test measures dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgen hormone produced from testosterone. DHT plays a role in the development of male sex characteristics and hair follicle activity. A healthcare professional may order this test when evaluating androgen hormone balance, unusual hair growth or hair loss patterns, puberty-related concerns, or suspected disorders affecting hormone production or metabolism. Results are interpreted alongside medical history, examination findings, and other hormone tests.
