Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Free details
Description
This measures the small, unbound portion of DHT that's actually free to act on your body's tissues, rather than bound to carrier proteins like SHBG. As with free testosterone, this can offer a more precise picture of biologically active DHT than the total level alone, particularly useful when SHBG levels are themselves abnormal and might otherwise distort the picture given by total DHT.

$266.99
This test quantifies the serum levels of total and free DHT using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and dialysis. It aids in diagnosing and managing conditions related to altered androgen metabolism. It is particularly useful in evaluating conditions such as 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, a genetic disorder that can impact male sexual development.
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) A potent form of testosterone converted by an enzyme in skin, hair follicles, and the prostate. Linked to hair loss, acne, and prostate growth.
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Free The portion of DHT that's unbound and biologically active in your tissues, rather than bound to carrier proteins.

Dihydrotestosterone, Free, Serum
$35.49
This test measures the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the blood, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like 5-alpha-reductase deficiency that affects male sexual development. It's also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments that impact androgen levels. DHT is a key androgen involved in the development of male external genitalia, prostate growth, and skin health. It's mainly produced from testosterone through the action of 5-alpha-reductase in tissues.
