A member asked:
What kinds of tests are a ferritin level, thyroid hormone, free testosterone level ? tests for hair thinning or hair loss.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overall health: Every man should have an occasional serum ferritin since hemochrmoatosis is common, deadly and treatable. Testosterone assays are of little value in a baldness workup despite what you may hear, but worthwhile in an erectile dysfunction workup. Hypothyroidism leads to a non-male-pattern baldness and thyroid screen is worthwhile every few years.
