A blood test covering hormones, thyroid function, liver and kidney health, key nutrients and a full blood count, aimed at the biological factors sometimes linked to hair thinning in men. Suits men wanting a broad first check rather than a single hormone test.
38 biomarkers as listed by London Medical Laboratory.
This profile covers testosterone and related hormones (free testosterone, SHBG, FSH, LH, prolactin, DHEA sulphate, cortisol, oestradiol), thyroid function, key nutrients (vitamin D, B12, folate, zinc, ferritin), liver and kidney function, and a full blood count. Hair thinning in men is sometimes linked to hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems or nutritional deficiencies, so testing across all of these areas is intended to give a wider starting point than a single hormone test.
At 38 markers, this places in the 96th percentile for size among the men's health tests we track, close to the 39-marker Female Hair Loss Advanced test in London Medical Laboratory's own range. There is no directly comparable men's hair-loss panel from another provider in our data, so the £179 price cannot yet be benchmarked against a close peer.
Clinical depth scores at the top of the range for the sheer number of markers covered. value for money sits in the middle, reflecting the lack of a directly comparable peer rather than a confirmed high or low price. Collection convenience is lower because it needs a venous blood draw rather than a finger-prick kit, and trust signals and results and follow-up reflect the standard CQC registration and doctor-reviewed report.
This suits men experiencing hair thinning or pattern hair loss who want to check a broad range of hormonal, thyroid and nutritional factors at once, including men already using or considering treatments such as finasteride or minoxidil.
If you already suspect a specific cause, such as low testosterone, London Medical Laboratory's own Male Hormone Profile targets hormones alone for £99, a narrower but cheaper option than this 38-marker panel. See a GP about persistent or rapid hair loss as well.
This test requires a venous blood draw, either at a partner clinic (plus £35) or a home visit from a phlebotomist (plus £80); it is not available as a finger-prick kit, because the panel includes a full blood count. The lab runs the full hormone, thyroid, nutritional and blood count panel, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive your report, typically within a day.
This panel tests 38 markers across hormones, thyroid function, nutrients, liver, kidney and blood count, placing it in the 96th percentile for size among the men's health tests we track. At £179 there is no directly comparable hair-loss test in our data to benchmark the price against. It requires a venous blood draw rather than a finger-prick sample.

One of the deepest men's health panels we track
A 21-marker blood test covering testosterone, cholesterol, liver health, inflammation and vitamin D, for men wanting a broad check on long-term health risk.
PSA test priced at the group's £59 median
A single blood test measuring prostate specific antigen (PSA), a marker commonly used to help assess prostate cancer risk. Suited to men aged 45 and over, or 40 and over if at higher risk, as part of regular monitoring.
50-marker hormone and inflammation panel for skin concerns
A 50-marker blood panel covering hormones, thyroid, inflammation, iron, liver, kidney and vitamin levels that can influence skin condition. Suited to anyone investigating persistent skin issues such as breakouts or dryness.
Cheaper than most PSA tests we track, but not the cheapest
Measures PSA, a protein produced by the prostate, commonly used to assess prostate health. Suited to those in a higher-risk group by age, ethnicity or family history.
