Hair Loss Root Cause Panel
A focused blood test that examines key biological factors known to influence hair thinning and loss. This panel is suitable for women and men who want to understand internal drivers of hair change rather than rely on trial and error.
Why investigate blood markers for hair loss
Hair loss is often linked to changes in iron storage, thyroid regulation, hormone balance, inflammation and nutrient status. Measuring these systems helps identify correctable causes and supports targeted treatment planning with a clinician.
What this panel analyses
Iron storage and oxygen delivery
- Ferritin
Thyroid regulation of hair growth cycles
- TSH
- Free T4
- Free T3
Hormone regulation and follicular sensitivity
- Free testosterone
- SHBG
Nutrient status related to cellular renewal
- Vitamin D
- Active B12
Inflammatory load affecting scalp environment
- High sensitivity CRP
What you can learn from this panel
The results can indicate whether your hair loss is related to:
- Low iron stores
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Androgen related follicle miniaturisation
- Inflammatory signalling
- Reduced nutrient support for cell renewal
This provides a structured view of contributing pathways and supports informed discussion about next steps.
Who this test is suitable for
- Women with diffuse shedding or reduced density
- Men with receding patterns or thinning at the crown
- Individuals with stress related hair loss
- People with fatigue or thyroid symptoms
- Anyone seeking a structured view of hair loss biology
