Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Blood Test
Item # LC500142
This hormone is associated with hair loss & prostate inflammation
This test can identify elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, which have been associated with male pattern hair loss, acne and prostate enlargement.
|
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent form of testosterone required for male sexual development. However, aging men tend to have higher levels of DHT that could lead to problems such as hair loss and prostate dysfunction. Additionally, men and women on testosterone therapy should always check their testosterone blood level to make sure that it stays within an optimal range. Remember, women with higher levels of DHT can also lose their hair. Instructions Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed. If you are supplementing with any hormones, we suggest taking them approximately 2 hours prior to having your blood drawn to see peak levels. Hormones are best drawn between 8-10 AM. |
