Quick answer
A DHT blood test measures the level of dihydrotestosterone, an androgen produced from testosterone in the body. It is often ordered when a provider is evaluating androgen-related concerns such as hair thinning or prostate-related questions in men, and it may be combined with testosterone and other hormone tests. Results are interpreted with age, symptoms, and additional lab work.
About this test in Camp Pendleton South
Dihydrotestosterone is formed from testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase and is significantly more potent than testosterone itself. It plays a role in male sexual development and prostate growth, and it acts on hair follicles, which is why it is often discussed in the context of pattern hair thinning.
The test measures DHT in a serum sample collected from a vein, and some laboratories prefer a morning collection. Because DHT is influenced by testosterone and other hormones, it is frequently ordered with total testosterone, free testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, or estradiol. Reference ranges come from the performing laboratory.
People may order this test when evaluating hair thinning or other androgen-related symptoms, or when a provider wants a broader view of hormone balance. DHT can also be measured in women when androgen excess is being considered. A single result is not a diagnosis; a qualified healthcare provider should interpret it with the full clinical picture.
