Hair Fall Profile

What is included (6 tests)

About the Hair Fall Profile

The hair fall profile looks at the nutritional and thyroid causes of hair loss: blood count, ferritin, TSH, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and zinc. Hair is sensitive to deficiencies, and fixing them often reduces shedding over a few months.

Symptoms and situations where this test helps

• Increased hair shedding or thinning over months
• Hair fall after illness, delivery or crash dieting
• Vegetarian diet with low protein intake
• Tiredness, dry skin or irregular periods with hair fall

Understanding your results

Low ferritin, low vitamin D or B12 and thyroid problems are common, treatable causes. If these are normal, a dermatologist may look for hormonal or scalp causes. Hair regrowth takes months after correction.

What your doctor may advise next

Your doctor may advise supplements, thyroid treatment and a dermatology consultation.
