Hair loss can have many causes, such as iron deficiency, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, thyroid disorders and hormonal changes. This panel runs the tests that help assess these causes in one go.
The panel includes a complete blood count, serum iron, iron-binding capacity and ferritin; vitamin D, B12, folic acid, biotin and zinc; free T4, TSH and Anti-TPO; and prolactin, DHEA-SO4, and total and free testosterone. It is recommended that you review your results with your doctor or dermatologist.
