Tests for diagnosing hair loss

The preventive testing programme “For Hair Loss” is designed to identify the internal causes of hair thinning, which often lie within the body. One of the most common reasons for hair loss is an imbalance of thyroid or sex hormones.

Women frequently experience hidden anaemia, when a standard blood test does not show iron deficiency, but more detailed analyses reveal it. Hair loss can also be triggered by deficiencies of other minerals and vitamins.

The “For Hair Loss” testing programme includes:

• Complete blood count with leukocyte differentiation (22 parameters)
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone, functional sensitivity ≤0.01 mU/l (TSH)
• Copper (Cu)
• Zinc (Zn)
• Iron (Fe)
• Ferritin (FERRI)
• Folic acid
• Cobalamin (Vitamin B12)
• Testosterone (TTE)
• Vitamin D total (25(OH)D)
• Glucose (serum)
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
• Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT)
• Creatinine (CREA)
