About Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Blood Test in San Ramon
DHT is an androgen that the body derives from testosterone through the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase.
DHT binds to androgen receptors with greater affinity than testosterone and is involved in the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics, including prostate growth and body hair patterns.
Because DHT is linked to androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, measuring its level can help clinicians evaluate hormonal contributors to hair thinning and other androgen-related concerns.
A DHT blood test is typically interpreted alongside other hormone results, such as total and free testosterone, rather than in isolation, since circulating levels reflect a balance of production, conversion, and clearance.
