DHT is a hormone derived from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. It is significantly more potent than testosterone and plays a key role in male-pattern baldness, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and acne. Elevated DHT can contribute to hair thinning, while low levels may affect libido and muscle development. This test is commonly ordered for evaluating hair loss, monitoring 5-alpha reductase inhibitor therapy (finasteride/dutasteride), and assessing androgen-related conditions.
Dihydrotestosterone — the most potent androgen, converted from testosterone by 5-alpha reductase. Drives male-pattern hair loss, prostate growth, and androgenic skin/hair effects.
Men evaluating male-pattern baldness or considering finasteride/dutasteride, women evaluating hirsutism or androgenic alopecia, anyone investigating high-androgen symptoms with normal testosterone.

Your DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) results will include values for each of the 1 biomarker tested, along with reference ranges. Results are reviewed by a licensed physician before being released to your secure portal.
If any values fall outside the normal range, your report will include guidance on what that may mean and recommended next steps. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready, typically within 4–7 business days.
Typical reference range layout
Lab reports show where your value sits relative to established reference intervals—your physician interprets this in context for you.
No fasting required. If taking finasteride or dutasteride, note the medication and dosage for your provider.
