No, and that is worth knowing before you pay. There are no androgen tests in this package — no Testosterone, no free testosterone, no Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Female pattern hair loss and hair loss associated with polycystic ovary syndrome are substantially androgen-driven, so this package cannot assess them. If you have irregular or absent periods, adult acne, or excess facial or body hair with the thinning, ask a doctor: Testosterone Total, Free DHT and DHEA-S are separate tests, usually ordered with an anti-Mullerian hormone level and a pelvic ultrasound.

No. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is the carrier protein that binds sex hormones in blood and determines how much circulates in a free, usable form. It is useful for interpreting a testosterone value, but it cannot measure androgen activity by itself, and this package has no testosterone result to read it against. Treat SHBG here as background information on hormone binding, not as an androgen assessment.

Usually yes to both. Iron, vitamin D, B12 and thyroid values are normally rechecked about three months into treatment, because hair regrowth is slow and the first report mainly shows where to start. The repeat draw is free home collection in exactly the same way, anywhere in Greater Noida. Booking both at home matters here because the follow-up is the step most often skipped when the collection centre is a drive away. Giving the second sample at a similar hour keeps the two reports comparable.

Yes. Book online or on WhatsApp with the hostel or flat address, the room number and a landmark. A trained phlebotomist arrives in the slot you choose, takes one blood sample, and it travels to the laboratory in temperature-controlled conditions. Collection is free across Knowledge Park 1, Knowledge Park 2, Knowledge Park 3, Knowledge Park 5, Pari Chowk and the surrounding sectors. No fasting is needed, so a morning slot before class works; note the first day of your last period at booking so the hormone results can be interpreted.

Free home collection across Greater Noida, including Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta 2, Gamma 1, Gamma 2, Delta 1, Delta 2, Delta 3, Omega 1, Omega 2, Chi 1, Chi 4, Pi 1, Pi 2, Mu, Sigma, Zeta, Eta, Knowledge Park 1 to 5, Pari Chowk, Jagat Farm, Surajpur, Kasna, Techzone 4, Gaur City and Greater Noida West. More than one adult at the same address can be collected in a single visit, so a mother and daughter can be tested together.

It starts from 2199. That includes free home sample collection anywhere in Greater Noida and digital reports within 24 hours, with nothing added at checkout. Book online or on WhatsApp.

The systemic base is identical in both: CBC with ESR, Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination, Iron Studies, Thyroid Profile, Active Vitamin - B12, Vitamin D, Zinc Serum, Magnesium, CRP Quantitative, Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA), Liver and Kidney Function. Only the hormone section changes. This women's package carries Cortisol Serum, Estradiol, IHC Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Prolactin and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin. The men's package carries Testosterone Total, Dihydrotestosterone DHT Free and 21-Deoxy Cortisol serum instead, and this women's version has no androgens at all.

Iron deficiency. Over 50% of Indian women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21), usually because heavy or prolonged periods combine with low dietary iron. Hair follicles are among the first tissues the body deprioritises when iron stores drop, which produces diffuse shedding across the whole scalp rather than a receding pattern. This package reports Iron Studies with Serum Iron, TIBC, UIBC, Transferrin and % Iron Saturation, read against the CBC with ESR and a pathologist-examined peripheral smear.

It covers the likely ground. Shedding that begins two to four months after childbirth is telogen effluvium: pregnancy holds follicles in their growth phase and they leave it together afterwards, so the hair comes out well after the event that caused it. It usually settles without treatment, but pregnancy and blood loss at delivery deplete iron, and over 50% of Indian women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic already (NFHS-5, 2019-21). Iron Studies, the CBC with ESR, Thyroid Profile and the vitamins here look for what is prolonging it.

No. The package includes Iron Studies, which reports Serum Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), UIBC, Transferrin and % Iron Saturation. Ferritin measures stored iron and is the most sensitive single marker of iron status in hair loss — dermatologists often ask for it specifically, because shedding can occur at ferritin levels still inside the low-normal range. Ferritin is a separate test a doctor may add. Note that ferritin also rises with inflammation, which is one reason the quantitative CRP here helps interpret it.

Between them they describe the hormonal state that governs the hair cycle in women. IHC Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone indicate ovarian function and whether perimenopause has begun. Estradiol is the main oestrogen, and falling oestrogen around menopause is a recognised cause of diffuse thinning. Prolactin matters because raised levels disturb the cycle and cause shedding. FSH, Luteinising Hormone and Estradiol all vary with cycle day, so note the first day of your last period when you book.

Yes, and it is among the most treatable causes. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism produce diffuse thinning across the scalp. Indian women develop thyroid disorders roughly three times as often as men, 15.86% compared with 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013;17(4):647-652). This package reports the full Thyroid Profile — Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3), Thyroxine Total (TT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Shedding usually settles once thyroid function is corrected, though regrowth takes several months.

Yes. An ordinary test reports total vitamin B12, most of which is bound to haptocorrin and unavailable to cells. Active Vitamin - B12 measures holotranscobalamin, the fraction bound to transcobalamin that cells can take up and use. That is a real advantage, because total B12 can read normal while the usable fraction is already low. 47 to 70% of Indians are B12 deficient, rising above 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775-782).

No. ANA detects antibodies against components of the cell nucleus and is a screening test, not a diagnosis. It is positive in autoimmune conditions such as lupus, Sjogren's syndrome and scleroderma, some of which cause scarring and permanent hair loss, which is why it is included. But ANA is also positive in a meaningful share of healthy people, more often with age, and in chronic infections and some medication reactions. A doctor reads it against your symptoms and may add anti-dsDNA or an ANA immunoblot.

Yes, and in women it often does. Iron deficiency makes red cells small and pale; B12 or folate deficiency makes them large. When both are present at once — common in Indian women — the averaged index on the CBC can sit inside the normal range while neither deficiency has been treated. A pathologist reading the slide sees two separate populations of cells rather than one average and records it in the written Impression. The examination reports five findings in all: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and that Impression.

Because it cannot be automated. A Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination needs a qualified pathologist to prepare and read every slide by hand, so the cost is pathologist time rather than analyser time, which makes it an easy line item to cut at a given price point. It is worth checking any hair fall package's test list for it by name. Across Delhi NCR the Hemoparasites finding is a practical reason to want it, since dengue and malaria are endemic and a fever illness triggers shedding two to three months later.

No fasting is required. Two other things matter more: book a 7 to 9 AM slot, because Cortisol Serum and TSH follow a daily rhythm and are read against morning reference ranges, and note the first day of your last period, because Estradiol, FSH and Luteinising Hormone vary by cycle day. Stop biotin supplements 48 hours beforehand, since biotin interferes with several immunoassays and can produce a falsely normal TSH. To book for someone else, add their details and their last period date at booking; one visit can cover two adults at the same address. Samples are processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network; NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel, not as a brand-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold it.
