DHT (DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE)

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a potent androgen produced from testosterone by the enzyme 5α‑reductase; a serum DHT test directly measures circulating DHT levels to assess androgen activity. This at‑home DHT test collects a venous blood sample via a certified phlebotomist and is analysed by a UAE‑certified laboratory to provide accurate, private results relevant to hair‑loss risk and androgen‑related conditions.

The test is primarily used to evaluate male‑pattern (androgenetic) hair loss, to help guide or monitor 5α‑reductase inhibitor therapy (for example finasteride), and to investigate unexplained androgenic symptoms or prostate concerns. Results should be reviewed with a physician or specialist: medications, recent testosterone therapy, and laboratory reference ranges can affect interpretation and clinical decisions.

• Early or progressive male‑pattern hair thinning or receding hairline
• Family history of androgenetic alopecia with concern about personal risk
• Before starting or to monitor finasteride/dutasteride therapy
• Unexplained changes in libido, sexual function, or excessive facial/body hair
• Assessment of androgenic contribution to prostate enlargement or related symptoms

• Objective measurement of DHT to assess androgenic activity and hair‑loss risk
• Guides personalised treatment decisions (e.g., suitability for 5α‑reductase inhibitors)
• Home sample collection with analysis by a UAE‑certified laboratory
• Confidential, fast turnaround of results suitable for Dubai patients
• Supports clinician follow‑up and monitoring of therapy effectiveness

• At‑home venous blood sample collection by a certified phlebotomist
• Morning sample recommended (hormone levels show diurnal variation)
• Inform the phlebotomist and clinician about current medications—do not stop drugs without medical advice
