Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Blood Test

* This is not a home test kit. You will need to visit a local lab for testing.

Purpose of the DHT Test

Irregular levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can have a wide-ranging effect on the body throughout someone’s life, so it’s important to monitor these levels with a DHT lab test to ensure they fall within a normal range. For instance, low levels of this hormone may inhibit genital development in male fetuses or lead to delayed growth of facial and body hair in puberty (and as men age, it can lead to male-pattern baldness or alopecia). As adults grow older, high DHT can be a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome in women, or enlarged prostate or prostate cancer in men.

What Does the Dihydrotestosterone Test Measure?

This test determines how much DHT your body is producing. DHT is classified as an androgen, or steroid hormone. The tissues of the body convert testosterone into DHT.

Who Should Take a DHT Lab Test?

Your physician may recommend testing if you are showing symptoms associated with conditions related to low or high DHT, such as enlarged prostate, hair loss, or polycystic ovarian syndrome.

DHT Hormone Test Preparation

You don’t need to follow any special requirements before taking a DHT test.

DHT Level Test Results

The typical reference range for a DHT blood test is 12 to 65 ng/dL for men and 20 or less ng/dL for women. Your healthcare provider can then determine next steps, or you can make a telehealth appointment with one of our board-certified doctors.
