The Hair Loss Blood Test measures 45 biomarkers across nutrients and iron, thyroid, hormones, blood count and liver function. These are the areas most often looked at when investigating hair shedding and thinning.
Hair loss has many causes, including nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, hormonal changes, stress, illness and genetics. A blood test cannot explain every case, but it can show whether a measurable cause is part of the picture.
What the Hair Loss Blood Test measures
| Area | Biomarkers |
|---|---|
| Nutrients and iron (8) | Active B12, Folate, Vitamin D (25-OH), Magnesium, Ferritin, Serum iron, Transferrin, Transferrin saturation |
| Thyroid (5) | TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, Thyroglobulin antibodies |
| Hormones (10) | Total testosterone, Free testosterone (calculated), SHBG, Oestradiol, Progesterone, FSH, LH, LH/FSH ratio, DHEA-S, Prolactin |
| Full blood count (14) | Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, RBC, WBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelets, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils |
| Liver function (8) | ALT, AST, Gamma GT, Bilirubin, LDH, Albumin, Globulin, Total protein |
Why these markers
- Ferritin and iron studies: low iron stores are a recognised contributor to hair shedding and can be low while haemoglobin is normal.
- Thyroid hormones and antibodies: an underactive or overactive thyroid can affect hair, and antibodies point to autoimmune thyroid conditions.
- Sex hormones: changes linked to PCOS, perimenopause, pregnancy or raised androgens can affect hair growth.
- Vitamin D, B12, folate and magnesium: nutrients involved in cell growth and general health.

Frequently asked questions
How long do results take?
Results are usually available within 72 hours.
Can a blood test tell me why I am losing hair?
It can show whether iron, thyroid, hormone or nutrient levels are outside the expected range. Some hair loss, such as genetic pattern hair loss, does not show up in blood tests.
Is there a cheaper option?
The Iron Studies Blood Test and Thyroid Blood Test each cover one area.
What happens after I get my results?
You receive an explanation of what they mean. Treatment decisions are made with a clinician, and you may be referred to a specialist.
