    What is 5 Alpha - Dihydrotestosterone (5 Alpha - DHT) Test?

    The 5-Alpha Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test determines the concentration of DHT in the bloodstream, a hormone crucial for establishing and maintaining male traits in individuals assigned male at birth. DHT’s role begins during prenatal development and continues throughout life. It is synthesized when testosterone is converted by the enzyme 5α-reductase, primarily within the prostate, seminal vesicles, and skin. This hormone is key to regulating male physical characteristics and various physiological processes.

    Primarily, this test is utilized to diagnose conditions such as male-pattern baldness and prostate issues. It is also instrumental in monitoring the effectiveness of treatments targeting DHT reduction, as elevated DHT levels are associated with hair loss and prostate complications. In males, DHT levels are typically higher due to greater testosterone production, while in females, DHT may contribute to body and pubic hair growth. However, its overall role in females remains poorly understood, calling for more comprehensive research.

    By measuring DHT levels, this test provides crucial insights into hormonal balance and related health issues, supporting the development of focused treatment strategies. If you’re based in Delhi and have concerns about DHT levels, undergoing this test can offer valuable information about your hormonal health and help you take appropriate actions to prevent further complications.

    5 Alpha - Dihydrotestosterone (5 Alpha - DHT) Test Parameters

    The DHT test specifically measures 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone levels, a key hormone primarily found in the prostate. Unlike testosterone, which decreases with age, DHT levels remain stable throughout life. Low DHT can result from 5-alpha reductase deficiency or reduced testosterone levels. This deficiency, caused by a genetic mutation in the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, can lead to underdeveloped external genitalia, undescended testicles, and a small or absent prostate in males. In more severe cases, individuals may appear female externally at birth. However, during puberty, affected males typically experience male characteristics such as a deeper voice, increased muscle mass, and penis enlargement, although facial hair may not develop.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
