Hairfall Test?
Hairfall tests are diagnostic evaluations used to determine the underlying causes of hair loss, which can result from various factors including nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, and medical conditions. Common tests for diagnosing hairfall include:
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Identifies any underlying conditions such as anemia that could be contributing to hair loss.
Thyroid Function Tests: Measures levels of thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) to check for thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can cause hair loss.
Hormone Tests:
- Androgen Levels: Assesses levels of androgens, such as testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which can affect hair growth.
- Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG): Evaluates the levels of SHBG, which binds to sex hormones and can influence hair growth.
Iron Studies:
- Serum Ferritin: Measures the amount of stored iron in the body, as low iron levels can lead to hair loss.
- Serum Iron and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): Assesses iron levels and the capacity of blood to bind iron.
Vitamin and Mineral Tests:
- Vitamin D Levels: Low levels of vitamin D can contribute to hair loss.
- Vitamin B12 and Folate Levels: Deficiencies in these vitamins can lead to hair thinning.
- Zinc and Biotin Levels: Essential for healthy hair growth, and deficiencies can cause hair loss.
Scalp Biopsy: Involves taking a small sample of scalp tissue to examine for signs of scalp diseases, infections, or inflammatory conditions that might cause hair loss.
Pull Test: A physical examination where a small amount of hair is gently pulled to see how many hairs come out easily, helping to evaluate hair loss severity.
Dandruff and Scalp Infection Tests: Examines the scalp for fungal infections, seborrheic dermatitis, and other conditions that can cause hair loss.
Autoimmune Tests:
- Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Test: Checks for autoimmune diseases like lupus that can lead to hair loss.
- Specific Autoantibody Tests: Identifies conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles.
