Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) LabCorp

This DHT test measures the level of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone related to testosterone, which can help identify potential causes for symptoms like acne, hair changes, and voice deepening. Understanding your DHT level can provide valuable insights into hormonal imbalances contributing to these common issues. Defy Medical offers this test to help pinpoint the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Acne: Measuring DHT can help determine if elevated levels are contributing to increased oil production, a common cause of acne.
• Deepening voice: DHT plays a role in the development of secondary male characteristics, including voice deepening, so this test can help assess if hormonal levels are contributing.
• Increased body hair: Elevated DHT can stimulate hair growth in certain areas, and this test helps identify if your levels are unusually high.
• Increased muscle mass: DHT is an androgen that contributes to muscle development, and this test can help evaluate if your levels are potentially contributing to changes in muscle mass.
• Male pattern baldness: DHT is known to shrink hair follicles on the scalp, contributing to male pattern baldness, and this test can help assess if your levels are a factor.
• Prostate enlargement: DHT stimulates prostate growth, and measuring your level can help determine if it is contributing to prostate enlargement.
