This test measures the level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone related to testosterone, in your blood. It helps doctors evaluate conditions like hirsutism (excess hair growth in women) and androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The LC/MS/Dialysis method is a more specific and precise way to measure DHT levels.
