Female Hair Loss Blood Test in Hayes, Uxbridge & Southall

Are you experiencing excessive hair shedding, thinning hair, a widening parting or an unexplained change in the thickness of your hair?

Evie Health offers a comprehensive female hair loss blood test in Hayes and Uxbridge for £215. This detailed profile checks a wide range of nutritional, thyroid, hormonal, inflammatory and general health markers that may be relevant when investigating female hair loss.

Hair loss can have many possible causes. Iron deficiency and thyroid disorders are among the medical conditions that may be associated with hair loss, although blood testing cannot identify every possible cause.

Our comprehensive profile includes tests covering:

• Ferritin and full iron studies
• Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and folate
• Zinc and magnesium
• Complete thyroid function and thyroid antibodies
• Female reproductive hormones
• Testosterone and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
• Full blood count
• Liver and kidney function
• Cholesterol levels
• Calcium and protein profile
• High-sensitivity inflammation marker

Package price: £215

Contact Evie Health to arrange your private blood test appointment.

This profile may be suitable if you are experiencing:

• Excessive hair shedding
• General thinning across the scalp
• A widening centre parting
• Reduced hair density or volume
• Hair breaking or becoming noticeably weaker
• Hair loss following illness, stress or pregnancy
• Hair changes alongside tiredness or low energy
• Hair loss with irregular or changing menstrual periods
• Hair thinning during perimenopause or menopause
• Hair loss with possible thyroid symptoms
• Hair loss with a history of low iron or vitamin deficiency

This test may also be useful before speaking with your GP, dermatologist, trichologist or other qualified healthcare professional.

The profile includes:

• Ferritin
• Serum Iron
• Transferrin
• Iron Binding Capacity

Ferritin helps assess the body’s stored iron. Iron deficiency anaemia may cause increased hair loss, including noticing more hair coming out during brushing or washing.

Iron results should be interpreted together rather than relying on one marker alone.

The profile checks:

• Vitamin D 25(OH)
• Vitamin B12
• Serum Folate — Vitamin B9
• Zinc
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Corrected Calcium
• Albumin

These tests provide information about several nutrients and minerals required for normal body function. Abnormal results do not necessarily confirm the cause of hair loss and should be assessed alongside symptoms, diet, medical history and any medication or supplements being taken.

The thyroid profile includes:

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone — TSH
• Free T3
• Free Thyroxine — Free T4
• Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies — TPO antibodies
• Thyroglobulin Antibodies

Both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions can be associated with hair thinning or hair loss. Thyroid blood testing helps assess whether the thyroid is functioning normally and whether thyroid antibodies are present.

The hormone profile includes:

• Oestradiol
• Luteinising Hormone — LH
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone — FSH
• Prolactin
• Progesterone
• Testosterone
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin — SHBG

Hormonal changes may affect the hair-growth cycle. This section may be particularly relevant for women experiencing hair loss alongside:

• Irregular periods
• Changes in menstrual frequency
• Acne
• Increased facial or body hair
• Fertility concerns
• Perimenopause or menopause symptoms
• Symptoms of a possible hormone imbalance

The best time to measure certain female hormones may depend on your menstrual cycle and the reason for testing. Please tell us about your cycle, hormonal contraception, hormone replacement therapy, fertility medication or pregnancy before booking.

The profile includes:

• Haemoglobin
• Red Blood Cell Count
• RDW
• Haematocrit
• MCV
• MCH
• MCHC
• Platelets
• MPV
• White Blood Cell Count
• Neutrophils
• Lymphocytes
• Monocytes
• Eosinophils
• Basophils

A full blood count provides information about red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. It may help identify findings such as anaemia that require further clinical assessment.

The profile checks:

• Urea
• Creatinine
• Sodium
• Potassium

These markers provide information about kidney function, hydration and electrolyte balance.

The profile includes:

• Total Protein
• Albumin
• Globulin
• Alkaline Phosphatase
• Total Bilirubin
• ALT/GPT
• AST/GOT
• Gamma GT

These tests assess several markers associated with liver function and protein balance.

The profile checks:

• Total Cholesterol
• Triglycerides
• HDL Cholesterol
• LDL Cholesterol
• Total Cholesterol-to-HDL Ratio
• HDL Percentage of Total Cholesterol

Although cholesterol testing does not diagnose the cause of hair loss, it provides useful information about wider cardiovascular and metabolic health.

The profile includes:

• High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein — hs-CRP

An hs-CRP result may indicate the presence of inflammation, but it is not specific to one particular condition. An abnormal result may require further medical investigation.

Please tell us before your appointment if you:

• Are receiving fertility treatment
• Take thyroid medication
• Take iron, biotin, zinc or vitamin supplements
• Are using testosterone or other hormonal medication
• Have irregular menstrual periods
• Have recently experienced a serious illness, operation or pregnancy

High-dose biotin supplements may interfere with certain laboratory tests. Do not stop prescribed medication unless advised by your doctor or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Fasting is not normally required for most of this profile. However, fasting may be recommended when an accurate triglyceride assessment is particularly important. We will provide preparation instructions when confirming your appointment.

The most appropriate timing depends on your symptoms and the purpose of the test.

For example:

• FSH, LH and oestradiol may sometimes be requested near the beginning of the menstrual cycle.
• Progesterone is usually most informative during the luteal phase, approximately seven days before the expected next period.
• Women with irregular periods, no periods, menopause symptoms or hormonal treatment may require different timing.

Testing on the wrong day does not necessarily make the results invalid, but it may affect how they should be interpreted. Please contact Evie Health before booking if you are unsure.

Your laboratory report will show your results and the laboratory reference ranges.

A blood test may identify abnormalities requiring further assessment, but it cannot diagnose every cause of female hair loss. Hair loss may also be related to genetics, autoimmune conditions, scalp disorders, medication, physical or emotional stress, recent illness, pregnancy, rapid weight loss or damage caused by hairstyles and chemical treatments.

Results should therefore be reviewed alongside your symptoms, medical history, menstrual history and examination of the scalp.

Please share abnormal results with your GP or another suitably qualified healthcare professional. Seek medical assessment promptly for sudden hair loss, bald patches, scalp pain, redness, scaling, scarring, unexplained weight loss or other concerning symptoms.
