DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE DHT FREE Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE DHT FREE Test at a cost of AED 4650.0. This test is used to measure the levels of free DHT in the body, which plays a significant role in the development of male secondary sexual characteristics.
Test Details
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone derived from testosterone and is responsible for the growth and maintenance of hair, prostate health, and sexual function. The DHT free test measures the levels of free DHT in the body, which refers to the hormone that is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the body’s tissues.
This test is often performed to evaluate conditions related to DHT levels, such as male pattern baldness, prostate disorders, and hormonal imbalances. It involves taking a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm, and sending it to our laboratory for analysis.
The results of the test are typically reported as the amount of free DHT in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL) of blood. High levels of DHT can be associated with conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) and androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). On the other hand, low levels of DHT may be linked to conditions like hypogonadism (low testosterone) or hormonal imbalances.
It is important to note that the DHT free test is just one tool in assessing hormonal health, and it should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and symptoms. We recommend consulting with an endocrinologist or healthcare provider to understand the implications of the test results and determine the appropriate course of action.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone that is derived from testosterone and is primarily responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics. It is more potent than testosterone and plays a significant role in the growth and maintenance of hair, prostate health, and sexual function. The DHT free test is a blood test that measures the levels of free DHT in the body. Free DHT refers to the hormone that is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the body’s tissues.
