Hair Loss Blood Test Manchester
Identify the medical cause of your hair loss quickly and confidentially
Hair loss is distressing and often misunderstood. While some hair loss is genetic (androgenetic alopecia), a significant proportion is caused by treatable medical conditions — thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. Our Hair Loss Blood Test in Manchester is designed to identify these treatable causes so you can take action.
What Does This Test Check?
Our Hair Loss panel includes: TSH and Free T4 (thyroid), Ferritin (iron stores — the most common nutritional cause of hair loss), Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Full Blood Count, Serum Iron, Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone (SHBG), DHEA, Oestradiol (women), and Zinc.
Who Is This Test For?
- Anyone experiencing sudden or progressive hair loss
- Those with thinning hair at the crown or temples
- Women with diffuse hair loss or thinning
- Men with early-onset male-pattern hair loss
- Those who have had significant illness or surgery recently
- Women post-partum experiencing hair shedding
- Anyone who has recently changed medications

Frequently Asked Questions
Is low ferritin a common cause of hair loss?
Yes. Low ferritin (iron stores) is one of the most common and most overlooked causes of hair loss, particularly in women. Even when iron anaemia is not present, low ferritin alone can cause significant hair shedding.
Can thyroid problems cause hair loss?
Yes. Both hypothyroidism (underactive) and hyperthyroidism (overactive) can cause diffuse hair loss. The hair often regrows once the thyroid condition is treated.
Can vitamin deficiency cause hair loss?
Yes. Vitamin D deficiency and B12 deficiency are both associated with hair loss. Nutritional deficiencies are one of the first things we screen for.
What treatments are available for hair loss?
Treatment depends on the cause. Nutritional deficiencies are treated with supplementation or prescription. Hormonal causes may require medication. Our prescribers can advise on all available options.
