This test can identify elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, which have been associated with male pattern hair loss, acne and prostate enlargement. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent form of testosterone required for male sexual development. However, aging men tend to have higher levels of DHT that could lead to problems such as hair loss and prostate dysfunction.
