# Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Free, LC/MS/Dialysis

> This test measures the amount of free dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a strong hormone made from testosterone that is active in your body because it is not attached to proteins. It helps show how well your body converts testosterone, which is useful for evaluating conditions related to hair loss, prostate enlargement, or hormonal development. This measurement helps doctors distinguish between different causes of androgen imbalances or enzyme deficiencies. However, this test alone cannot diagnose specific genetic disorders or determine the root cause of symptoms without a complete medical evaluation.
