Experiencing Hair Loss? These Tests Are Essential!
Experiencing Hair Loss? These Tests Are Essential!
From AlFarabi Medical Labs | AlFarabi Medical Labs
Hair loss may indicate vitamin deficiency or disturbed vital body functions alongside its cosmetic effects. Key tests for precisely identifying the cause are:
1. Hemoglobin (Hb)
Iron deficiency causes anemia, a major hair-loss cause. Hb shows blood oxygen transport efficiency.
2. Ferritin Stores
Even with normal iron levels, low ferritin means depleted reserves, affecting hair follicles.
3. Zinc Level
Zinc is essential for hair growth and skin health. Deficiency is common in women, causing weak hair and loss.
4. Vitamin D Level
Vitamin D regulates follicles. Deficiency relates to chronic hair loss and alopecia areata.
5. Vitamin B12 Level
B12 is essential for blood cell production and scalp nourishment. Deficiency impairs hair nutrition and causes loss.
6. Thyroid test (TSH)
The thyroid controls metabolism, including hair growth. Dysfunction causes noticeable loss and dry skin.

💡 Advice from AlFarabi Medical Labs experts:
Do not rely on hair products without knowing the root cause. Early testing saves time and treatment.
A test result is not a diagnosis. Show it to your doctor.
