Hair Loss Blood Test Profile
Causes of Hair loss
Same Day Testing
Hair loss is often driven by internal medical or nutritional factors that can be identified through blood tests. Anaemia, low iron, B12 or folate reduce the hair follicle’s ability to grow, while vitamin D and zinc deficiencies are commonly linked to diffuse shedding and autoimmune-related hair loss.
Thyroid disorders, raised inflammation, and hormonal imbalance (such as high testosterone or low SHBG) can also disrupt the normal hair cycle. In addition, chronic kidney or liver disease may indirectly cause thinning by affecting nutrition and metabolism.
For this reason, a structured blood panel — including FBC, iron studies, B12, folate, vitamin D, zinc, thyroid tests, CRP, testosterone, SHBG and kidney and liver function — is crucial for accurately diagnosing the cause and guiding effective treatment.
Why getting tested matters
Getting tested matters because hair loss is often a medical sign, not just a cosmetic concern. Treatable issues like iron deficiency, thyroid imbalance, low B12 or vitamin D, zinc deficiency, inflammation or hormonal changes can disrupt the hair cycle long before other symptoms develop. Testing identifies the cause early, allows targeted treatment, improves the chance of regrowth and prevents unnecessary or ineffective therapies. In short, blood tests turn guesswork into evidence-based care.

Your energy, your well-being—it all starts with healthy blood. Catching anaemia early means it’s easier to treat, so you can start feeling like yourself again sooner.
