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

    The 5-Alpha Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test measures the amount of DHT in the blood, a hormone essential for the development and preservation of male traits in individuals assigned male at birth. DHT’s influence begins during prenatal development and continues throughout a person’s life. It is produced when testosterone is converted by the enzyme 5α-reductase, primarily in the prostate, seminal vesicles, and skin. This hormone plays a significant role in defining male physical traits and regulating various physiological functions.

    This diagnostic test is commonly used to identify conditions like male-pattern baldness and prostate disorders. It also helps assess the effectiveness of treatments designed to lower DHT levels, as excess DHT is linked to hair loss and prostate-related complications. While males naturally have higher DHT levels due to increased testosterone, its role in females—where it may influence body and pubic hair growth—remains less clear and is an area of ongoing study.

    By focusing on DHT levels, the test provides valuable insights into hormonal imbalances and associated health issues, enabling targeted management. If you are in Noida and concerned about your hormonal health, this test can help you understand your DHT levels and take proactive measures to address potential concerns.

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

    The DHT test focuses on a single parameter: the level of 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone. This hormone plays a critical role in the prostate and maintains steady levels with age, even as testosterone declines. Low levels of DHT can result from conditions such as 5-alpha reductase deficiency or low testosterone. Genetic mutations in the enzyme responsible for DHT synthesis can cause 5-alpha reductase deficiency, which may lead to underdeveloped external genitalia, undescended testicles, and a small or absent prostate in males. In severe cases, these individuals may appear female at birth. Despite this, puberty often triggers male characteristics such as a deepened voice, increased muscle mass, and penis growth, although facial hair may be absent.
