Overview

Androstanolone (DHT) is a potent hormone derived from testosterone that plays important roles in male sexual development and function. This test measures androstanolone levels in your blood. In men, elevated levels may be associated with male pattern baldness, prostate enlargement, or acne. In women, elevated levels may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other androgen excess conditions. In cases of abnormal sexual development or hormone-related conditions, this test helps guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
