The systemic base is shared — CBC with ESR, peripheral smear, Iron Studies, Thyroid Profile, Active Vitamin - B12, Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, CRP Quantitative, ANA, Liver and Kidney Function are in both. The hormone section differs. This men's package includes the androgens Dihydrotestosterone DHT Free and Testosterone Total, plus Sex Hormone Binding Globulin. The women's package has no androgens; instead it carries Cortisol Serum, Estradiol, FSH, Luteinising Hormone and Prolactin for cycle-related and prolactin-driven hair loss. Book by which hormone group applies to you.

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a potent androgen converted from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. In genetically susceptible men, scalp follicles at the temples and crown are sensitive to DHT and progressively miniaturise under its influence, producing finer, shorter hairs and eventually none. This test measures the free, unbound fraction circulating in blood. It is also the hormone that finasteride and dutasteride act on, so a baseline value before starting treatment is useful.

No. Male pattern hair loss is mainly about how sensitive your follicles are to DHT, not how much DHT is in your blood, and most men with classic androgenetic alopecia have entirely normal DHT and testosterone levels. A normal androgen result does not exclude pattern hair loss, and a high one does not confirm it. Pattern hair loss is diagnosed by a dermatologist from the distribution of thinning and trichoscopy. These hormone results are for ruling out an endocrine abnormality and for a treatment baseline.

Testosterone Total measures all the testosterone in your blood, but most of it is bound to carrier proteins and not biologically active. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is the main carrier, so the SHBG level changes how a total testosterone value should be read — a high SHBG means less free, usable testosterone even when the total looks normal. Reading them together gives a more accurate picture of androgen status than either alone.

No, and this is worth knowing before booking. The package includes Iron Studies, which reports Serum Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), UIBC, Transferrin and % Iron Saturation. Ferritin, which measures stored iron, is the most sensitive single marker of iron deficiency in hair loss, and many dermatologists want it specifically because hair shedding can occur at ferritin levels still considered low-normal. Ferritin is a separate test your doctor may add alongside this package.

Yes. A standard B12 test measures total vitamin B12, most of which is bound to a protein called haptocorrin and is not available to your cells. Active Vitamin - B12 measures holotranscobalamin, the fraction bound to transcobalamin that cells can actually take up and use. This matters 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).

Yes. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism cause diffuse hair thinning across the scalp, and hair change is often the symptom that brings someone in. One in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid (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). Thyroid-related shedding usually improves once thyroid function is corrected, though regrowth takes months.

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

It is a manual microscopic examination in which a qualified pathologist prepares a slide from your blood and reads it cell by cell, reporting five findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites, and a written Impression. For hair loss the red cell morphology is the useful part. A CBC tells you haemoglobin is low; the smear tells you why — small pale microcytic cells indicate iron deficiency, large macrocytic cells indicate B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells indicate sickle cell disease. It also detects blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, malarial parasites, and platelet clumping that analysers misread as a low platelet count.

Most do not. A Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination cannot be automated, because a qualified pathologist has to prepare and read each slide individually under a microscope. That is pathologist time rather than analyser time, so it is one of the first line items removed to hold a price point. When looking at hair fall packages at similar parameter counts, it is worth checking the test list specifically for a peripheral smear or blood picture profile. In Delhi NCR the Hemoparasites finding is a practical reason to want it, since dengue and malaria are endemic and a fever illness is a common shedding trigger.

No, fasting is not required for this package. Timing does matter, though: book a morning slot, ideally between 7 and 9 AM, because Testosterone Total, TSH and 21-Deoxy Cortisol serum all follow a daily rhythm and are interpreted against morning reference ranges. Stop biotin supplements 48 hours beforehand, as biotin interferes with several immunoassays and can produce a falsely normal TSH result.

Yes, free across Gurgaon — Sector 14, 29, 38, 42, 44, 46, 49, 54, 55, 56, 57, Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension, Sohna Road, DLF Phase 1 to 5, Udyog Vihar, Manesar, Palam Vihar, South City and Nirvana Country. A trained phlebotomist takes a single blood sample at your door in your chosen morning slot, and the sample travels to the laboratory in temperature-controlled conditions.

Digital reports arrive within 24 hours of sample collection. All 68 parameters come with reference ranges and flagged abnormal values. If you have earlier results on HealthVas, the report includes trend tracking, which is useful here because hair regrowth is slow and iron, vitamin D and thyroid values are usually rechecked after three months of treatment.

Yes. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after an evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel. It is not a blanket brand certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold accreditation itself. Reports are issued on HealthVas letterhead.

Yes. Add their details during booking and choose a morning slot, since the hormone tests in this package are interpreted against morning reference ranges. The package is designed for men; for a woman experiencing hair loss, book the Hair Fall Test Package for Women instead, which carries a different hormone section. Home collection means no one has to travel to a laboratory.
