Do I need any blood tests?

Some up to date blood tests can be extremely beneficial in identifying the cause of hair loss, particularly if you are experiencing an increase in hair fall. If you haven’t had any blood tests done with your GP for more than 12 months, or you are experiencing new symptoms alongside your hair loss, you can initially contact your GP surgery to arrange some blood tests before coming to see us. Which blood tests to ask for are largely dependent on your individual circumstances, but as a bare minimum this should include a full blood count, ferritin (stored iron), CRP/ESR (inflammation), TSH (thyroid status), folate and Vitamin B12 (B12 is especially important if you are vegetarian/vegan, following any kind of restricted diet, or you have a poor dietary intake generally). Vitamin D can also be useful if available in your area. Please ask for a copy of any blood test results so I can evaluate them for you. Please stop any non-essential supplementation (particularly biotin) at least 48 hours before having any blood tests done, as this may affect results.

Below are our preferred blood test kits:

Advanced Tiredness & Fatigue Panel:

A comprehensive panel that covers the key markers we most commonly request for investigating hair loss.

Advanced Thyroid Test:

Also available as a finger-prick test. This panel includes fewer markers than the full fatigue panel but still covers most of the health and nutritional related factors relevant to hair loss.

Female Hormone Panel:

Useful when hormonal symptoms may be contributing to hair loss, or when a broader hormonal picture is needed. Please note, this test should be ordered in addition to one of the other tests above, to gain a full picture of your overall health.
