Hair Loss Panel (Basic)
Blood Test Item # LC900006
Checks common factors involved with hair loss.
Tired of guessing what’s causing your hair to thin or fall out? This panel assesses key factors that influence hair health, including potential hormone imbalances, inflammation, and iron status.
The Hair Loss Panel (Basic) includes the following tests:
- Cortisol is a primary biomarker for monitoring stress. Chronic high or low levels can reflect ongoing stress and point toward stress-related hair loss.1
- Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone known to contribute to hair loss. An overproduction of DHT can cause hair follicles to shrink and shorten the hair growth cycle.2
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a primary indication of thyroid function, which plays an important role in hair health. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are both associated with widespread hair loss. Testing TSH provides insight into thyroid function and detects abnormalities that may be impacting your hair growth cycle.3
- Ferritin is an iron storage protein used to evaluate iron status. Iron deficiency anemia has been linked to hair loss, due to iron’s important role in hemoglobin production and nutrient distribution throughout the body. When ferritin is low, hair follicles may enter a dormant state and fall out due to low iron status.4
- C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive marker of systemic inflammation. Inflammation of hair follicles and associated inhibition of hair growth has been observed in hair loss concerns.5
