Hair Loss Blood Tests for Women: Ferritin, Thyroid & Androgen Balance

One in three women will notice meaningful hair thinning by the age of fifty, and a substantial proportion present a decade earlier. Yet the majority are told their bloods are 'normal' and offered no clinical explanation. In practice, three biological axes — iron stores, thyroid function and androgen balance — account for most reversible female hair loss. Interpreted properly, a targeted blood panel changes the treatment plan in the majority of cases we see at our Chelsea clinic.
