๐ฉโโ๏ธ Who May This Test Be Suitable For?
This test may be helpful if you are experiencing:
๐ Hair thinning or excessive shedding
๐ Sudden or gradual hair loss
โ๏ธ Hormonal changes affecting hair growth
๐ด Fatigue or symptoms linked to deficiency
๐ฆ Possible thyroid-related symptoms
๐ Hair loss can have multiple causes. This test helps assess some of the most common contributing factors.
โก Why Are These Markers Important for Hair Loss?
๐ช Testosterone, Free Testosterone and FAI help assess androgen levels. Elevated androgens may be linked to hair thinning in some individuals.
๐งช SHBG helps regulate how much active hormone is available in the body.
๐ Prolactin may influence hormone balance and, when elevated, can contribute to hair changes.
๐ฆ TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 assess thyroid function. Both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions can affect hair growth and hair quality.
๐ฉธ Ferritin reflects iron stores. Low iron levels are a well-recognised factor in hair thinning and excessive shedding.
๐ Vitamin B12 is important for red blood cell production and overall hair and tissue health.
๐งช CRP is a marker of inflammation, which may be relevant in some hair loss conditions.
๐ Full Blood Count (FBC) provides a general overview of blood health and can help identify underlying issues such as anaemia.
๐ก Together, these markers help build a broader picture of hormonal, nutritional and health factors that may contribute to hair loss.
