Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Insights Insights

Most of your values are within the normal range. This is a positive outcome, indicating that your overall metabolism and organ function are functioning well. However, there are a couple of findings that are worth discussing. Your Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels are high. Although they are only slightly elevated, it's important to monitor them closely. High BUN and Creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function or dehydration. I recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate management plan. It's worth noting that your EGFR, which is a measure of kidney function, is within the normal range. This is reassuring and suggests that your kidneys are still able to filter waste products effectively. Overall, it's important to remember that blood test results need to be interpreted in the context of your overall health and medical history. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis and guide you further based on these results.

Ferritin

Insights Insights

Your ferritin levels are within the normal range, which is a positive result. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, and it is used as an indicator of your body's iron stores. Normal ferritin levels are important for healthy bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells. Maintaining normal ferritin levels is crucial to prevent iron deficiency or iron overload. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. On the other hand, iron overload can lead to organ damage and other health problems. Since your ferritin levels are normal, it suggests that your body has an appropriate amount of iron stores. However, it's important to note that a blood test only provides a snapshot of your iron status at a specific point in time. Regular monitoring of your ferritin levels is recommended to ensure they remain within the normal range. If you have any concerns about your iron levels or overall health, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate your complete medical history and provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.

ANA Screen

Insights Insights

The ANA Screen, IFA test came back normal, which is a good sign. It's recommended that you continue to monitor your health and get regular check-ups to ensure everything stays within the healthy range.
ANA Screen, IFA
good
NEGATIVE

Note: ANA IFA is a first line screen for detecting the presence of up to approximately 150 autoantibodies in various autoimmune diseases. A negative ANA IFA result suggests an ANA-associated autoimmune disease is not present at this time, but is not definitive. If there is high clinical suspicion for Sjogren's syndrome, testing for anti-SS-A/Ro antibody should be considered. Anti-Jo-1 antibody should be considered for clinically suspected inflammatory myopathies.

Thyroid Panel With TSH

Insights Insights

Your thyroid panel with TSH results are all within normal ranges, which is a good sign of your thyroid function. It's recommended that you continue to monitor your thyroid health through regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. If you experience any symptoms of thyroid issues such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, or changes in your hair and skin, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

Testosterone

Insights Insights

Your testosterone levels are within the normal range. This is a positive finding and indicates that your testosterone levels are appropriate for your age and sex. It's recommended that you continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle to support optimal hormone balance. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep are all factors that can contribute to maintaining normal testosterone levels. If you have any concerns or questions about your hormone levels, I would recommend discussing them with your doctor.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing noticeable hair loss, thinning hair, or bald patches and want to understand why. It helps identify underlying causes like hormone imbalances, thyroid problems, nutrient deficiencies, or autoimmune conditions that may be contributing to your hair loss. Many people use this test when they notice more hair in the shower drain, a receding hairline, or changes in hair texture and want concrete answers before trying treatments.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, meaning no food or beverages except water during that time. If you're taking high-dose biotin supplements (more than 5 mg per day), wait at least 8 hours after your last dose before testing, as biotin can interfere with results. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before your test to prevent artificially elevated results.

What's included in this test?

Ana Screen, Ifa Ferritin Vitamin B12

This comprehensive panel evaluates thyroid function through TSH and T4 levels, which directly impact hair growth cycles and can cause hair loss when imbalanced. It checks hormone levels including testosterone that affect hair health, measures ferritin and B12 to identify nutrient deficiencies that commonly cause hair thinning, and includes autoimmune screening (ANA) to detect conditions like alopecia areata. The Complete Blood Count checks for anemia, and the Comprehensive Metabolic Profile ensures your overall health isn't affecting your hair. Together, these measurements help pinpoint the root cause of your hair loss so you can address it effectively.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutrient status mean for your hair health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes to address deficiencies, supplement suggestions, lifestyle modifications, or whether you should consult a dermatologist or endocrinologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are helping your hair recovery.
When will I get my results?
Your results will typically be available within 7 business days after your blood is drawn. If any confirmatory testing is needed for specific markers, it may take a few additional days. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results and doctor notes are ready to view in your account.
Who should consider this test?
This test is perfect for anyone experiencing unexplained hair loss, thinning hair, or changes in hair texture and volume. It's especially useful for women with hormonal changes during pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause, people with a family history of thyroid disease or autoimmune conditions, and anyone who has tried hair loss treatments without success and wants to identify the underlying cause.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
You may need this test if you notice increased hair shedding when brushing or washing, a widening part line, thinning at the crown or temples, or patchy bald spots. Other signs include brittle or dry hair texture, slower hair growth than usual, fatigue or weight changes that accompany hair loss, or if your hair loss is affecting your confidence and quality of life.
How can I naturally support my hair health?
Supporting hair health starts with eating a nutrient-rich diet including protein, iron-rich foods like lean meats and leafy greens, and foods high in biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Managing stress through meditation, yoga, or regular exercise helps balance hormones that affect hair growth. Getting adequate sleep, avoiding tight hairstyles that pull on hair, limiting heat styling, and using gentle hair care products can also protect and encourage healthy hair growth.
What is ferritin and why does it matter for hair loss?
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, and adequate ferritin levels are essential for healthy hair growth. Low ferritin is one of the most common causes of hair loss, especially in women, even if you're not anemic. Your hair follicles need sufficient iron stores to function properly, and when ferritin drops too low, your body prioritizes vital organs over hair growth, leading to increased shedding and thinning.
What does low ferritin mean for my hair?
Low ferritin means your body's iron stores are depleted, which can significantly impact hair growth and lead to increased hair shedding. Even if your hemoglobin is normal, low ferritin can cause diffuse hair thinning across your scalp. This is especially common in women with heavy periods, vegetarians, or anyone with absorption issues, and is one of the most treatable causes of hair loss once identified.
How often should I retest after starting hair loss treatment?
If you're addressing nutrient deficiencies or starting thyroid medication, retest in 8-12 weeks to see if your levels are improving and if your hair loss is slowing. Since hair growth cycles take time, you may need to retest every 3-6 months to monitor progress and adjust your treatment approach. Once your levels are optimized and hair loss has stabilized, annual testing can help ensure you maintain healthy levels and catch any changes early.

What this means

Your ferritin level is below the optimal range, which is a common cause of hair loss, especially in women. Low ferritin means your iron stores are depleted, and your hair follicles aren't getting the iron they need to support healthy hair growth. This can lead to increased shedding and thinning, but the good news is that it's one of the most treatable causes of hair loss once identified.

Recommended actions

Increase iron-rich foods like lean red meat, chicken, fish, beans, and dark leafy greens

Pair iron sources with vitamin C foods (citrus, bell peppers) to boost absorption

Consider an iron supplement as recommended by your healthcare provider

Retest ferritin levels in 8-12 weeks to monitor improvement and track hair regrowth

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
