Dihydrotestosterone
Explanation: Dihydrotestosterone is a hormone made from testosterone. It’s much stronger than testosterone and is responsible for developing male traits, like a deeper voice and body hair, during puberty. It is also involved in regulating hair growth and prostate health. While dihydrotestosterone is important, too much of it can lead to issues like male pattern baldness or enlarged prostate.
Test purpose:
- Evaluate hair loss: High DHT levels are linked to androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
- Assess prostate health: Elevated DHT can contribute to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer.
- Investigate hormone imbalances: Helps detect conditions related to excess or deficient androgens, such as hormonal acne or hirsutism (excessive hair growth in women).
