About the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Blood Test
This blood test measures dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen derived from testosterone. DHT is formed in tissues by the action of an enzyme and plays an important role in male sexual development, prostate growth, and body and facial hair patterns. In women, DHT is present at low levels but can contribute to excess hair growth or acne when elevated. The test is ordered to investigate male pattern hair loss, evaluate masculine characteristics, and help assess androgen-related conditions in both men and women. Results are interpreted with sex, age, and other hormone measurements such as testosterone.
Who this test may be right for
- Men experiencing hair thinning or male pattern baldness
- Women with excess facial or body hair or acne
- Individuals being evaluated for androgen-related conditions
- People with suspected disorders of male sexual development

Understanding your results
DHT is compared against reference ranges that depend on sex and age. Elevated levels may be associated with androgen-driven hair loss or excess hair growth, while low levels may reflect reduced androgen production. Because DHT is derived from testosterone, results are usually interpreted with testosterone and other androgen markers. A healthcare provider should assess the finding in the context of symptoms and any further testing.
