70 parameters across 18 components: Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR (21), Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination (5), Liver Function Test (12), Kidney Function Test (12), Iron Studies with Serum Iron, TIBC, UIBC, Transferrin and % Iron Saturation (5), Thyroid Profile with TT3, TT4 and TSH (3), Active Vitamin - B12 (1), Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy (1), Zinc Serum (1), Magnesium (1), Cortisol Serum (1), C-Reactive Protein - CRP Quantitative (1), Estradiol / Estrogen Serum (1), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (1), IHC Follicle Stimulating Hormone FSH (1), Luteinising Hormone (1), Prolactin (1) and Anti Nuclear Antibody ANA (1). Sample is blood only; no fasting required.

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

It starts from 2199 in Gurgaon. That price includes free home sample collection and digital reports within 24 hours, with no additional charges at checkout. Book online or on WhatsApp.

The systemic base is the same in both — CBC with ESR, Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination, Iron Studies, Thyroid Profile, Active Vitamin - B12, Vitamin D, Zinc Serum, Magnesium, CRP Quantitative, ANA, Liver and Kidney Function. The hormone section differs. 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 instead carries Testosterone Total, Dihydrotestosterone DHT Free and 21-Deoxy Cortisol serum. This women's version has no androgen tests at all.

Iron deficiency. Over 50% of Indian women aged 15 to 49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019–21), usually because of heavy or prolonged periods combined with low dietary iron. Hair follicles are among the first tissues to be deprioritised 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 alongside the CBC and a pathologist-examined peripheral smear.

No. It 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 — many dermatologists ask for it specifically, because shedding can occur at ferritin levels still inside the low-normal range. Ferritin is a separate test your doctor may add alongside this package. Note also that ferritin rises with inflammation, which is one reason the quantitative CRP in this package is useful for interpreting it.

Yes. Sustained physical or emotional stress pushes a large share of follicles out of their growth phase together, producing telogen effluvium — diffuse shedding that typically begins two to three months after the stressful period. Cortisol Serum measures the main stress hormone. Because cortisol follows a daily rhythm, peaking in the early morning, a morning sample is the one that can be interpreted. A single raised value is not a diagnosis of a cortisol disorder; it is read alongside your history.

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

Yes, and it is one of the most treatable causes. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism cause diffuse thinning across the scalp. Indian women develop thyroid disorders roughly three times more often than 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.

It measures something different. A standard test reports total vitamin B12, most of which is bound to haptocorrin and unavailable to your cells. Active Vitamin - B12 measures holotranscobalamin, the fraction bound to transcobalamin that cells can actually take up. This 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 here. 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 positive result means a doctor should review it with your symptoms, possibly adding anti-dsDNA or an ANA immunoblot.

A qualified pathologist prepares a slide from your blood and examines it under a microscope, 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 what matters. A CBC tells you haemoglobin is low; the smear tells you why — small pale microcytic cells point to iron deficiency, large macrocytic cells to B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells to sickle cell disease. It also detects blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, malarial parasites inside red cells, and platelet clumping that automated counters report as a falsely low platelet count.

Because it cannot be automated. A Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination requires a qualified pathologist to prepare and read each slide individually, so its cost is pathologist time rather than analyser time — which makes it one of the first line items removed to hold a price point. It is worth checking any hair fall package's test list for it specifically. 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 trigger for shedding two to three months later.

No, fasting is not required. Two other things do matter. Book a morning slot, ideally between 7 and 9 AM, because Cortisol Serum and TSH follow a daily rhythm and are interpreted 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 — biotin interferes with several immunoassays and can produce a falsely normal TSH.

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 70 parameters come with reference ranges and flagged abnormal values. If you have earlier results on HealthVas, the report includes trend tracking — useful here, because iron, vitamin D and thyroid values are usually rechecked after about three months of treatment and hair regrowth is slow to show.

Yes to both. 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. To book for someone else, add their details and a morning slot during booking, and note their last period date so the hormone results can be interpreted. Home collection means no one has to travel to a laboratory.
