What are dht levels and how can i test the levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dihydrotestosterone: Dht is one of two metabolites of testosterone (estradiol is the other). You can easily check for both via simple blood draw. Reference ranges will vary depending upon lab & equipment used, therefore specific test ordered. High Dht is associated w/hair loss & enlarged prostate. We can lower Dht w/5ari, eg Finasteride & dutasteride, but might increase Estradiol (think seesaw effect). So check both.
