Does Dihydrotestosterone Blood Test Help To Predict Androgenic Alopecia Infection?
I ve experienced thinning weakening hair since a very bad case of the flu 18months ago I had a comprehensive blood test four months ago that showed I had problems with my thyroid TSH was elevated although t4 was normal range. I am trying to find out if I am experiencing hair thinning due to androgenic alopecia ... Would a Dihydrotestosterone blood test tell me if this is the case
