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

    The 5-Alpha Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test measures the amount of DHT in the blood. This hormone plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of male traits in individuals assigned male at birth. DHT’s influence begins before birth and continues throughout a person’s life. It is formed when testosterone is converted by the enzyme 5α-reductase, primarily in the prostate, seminal vesicles, and skin. DHT regulates many male physical features and physiological functions.

    This test is frequently used to diagnose conditions like male-pattern baldness and prostate disorders. It is also valuable for evaluating the success of treatments aimed at reducing DHT levels, as excessive DHT is linked to hair loss and prostate-related issues. In males, DHT levels are naturally higher due to elevated testosterone, while in females, DHT may play a role in body and pubic hair growth. However, its broader effects in females remain unclear, warranting further research.

    By focusing on DHT levels, this diagnostic test helps identify hormonal imbalances and related health conditions, paving the way for targeted treatment. If you are in Mumbai and concerned about DHT levels, this test can provide clarity about your hormonal health and guide you in taking the necessary steps to address potential problems.

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

    The DHT test measures the level of 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone in the blood, focusing on this single parameter. DHT is the primary hormone in the prostate and remains stable over time, even as testosterone levels naturally decline with age. Low DHT levels may result from conditions like low testosterone or 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a condition caused by genetic mutations in the enzyme responsible for DHT production. This deficiency can lead to features such as underdeveloped external genitalia, undescended testicles, and a small or absent prostate in males. In severe cases, affected individuals may appear female at birth. During puberty, males with this condition typically do not develop facial hair but retain other male characteristics, such as voice deepening, increased muscle mass, and penis growth.
