The Deitleman Hair Loss Panel is a broad blood panel designed to identify common medical and nutritional contributors to hair thinning and shedding. It brings together thyroid function, iron status, vitamin D, zinc, sex hormones, and general health markers so that possible causes can be reviewed together. Hair loss often has more than one contributor, and this panel helps narrow the search. Exact components can vary, and results should be reviewed with a healthcare provider.

• Complete Blood Count (CBC) Evaluates red cells, white cells, and platelets for anemia or other changes.
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) Assesses electrolytes, blood sugar, kidney, and liver function.
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Screens for thyroid problems that can cause hair shedding.
• Free T4 and Free T3 Measures active thyroid hormones that influence hair growth cycles.
• Ferritin Reflects stored iron, which is important for hair growth.
• Iron and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Evaluates iron levels and transport in the body.
• Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) A vitamin linked to hair follicle health.
• Zinc A mineral involved in hair and skin health.
• Total and Free Testosterone Androgens that can affect hair growth and loss.
• DHEA-Sulfate (DHEA-S) An adrenal hormone that serves as a building block for sex hormones.
• Prolactin A pituitary hormone that can affect hair when abnormal.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Hormones that regulate reproductive function and hormone balance.
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) A protein that affects how much free hormone is available.
• Estradiol A form of estrogen that contributes to hormone balance.

• People with unexplained hair thinning or shedding
• Individuals with a family history of hair loss
• Women with possible hormonal contributors to hair loss
• People whose provider has recommended a broad hair loss workup

• Fasting for 8 to 12 hours is commonly recommended
• Collect the sample in the morning when hormone levels are most comparable
• Report all medications, supplements, and hair treatments
• Follow the specific preparation instructions in your order

The panel can reveal a treatable contributor to hair loss, such as low ferritin, thyroid dysfunction, low vitamin D or zinc, or a hormone imbalance. However, many people have more than one factor, and some hair loss is genetic or related to stress, illness, or medications. Results are interpreted together and with your history. Discuss your Deitleman Hair Loss Panel results and next steps with a healthcare provider.
