A 7-marker blood test covering thyroid function, iron levels and hormone balance, aimed at men noticing hair thinning or shedding. Includes an at-home finger-prick option for those who would rather avoid a clinic visit.
Hair thinning or shedding can have several underlying causes, including thyroid problems, iron deficiency and hormone imbalances, and this test is aimed at men wanting to look into those possibilities together in one panel. Medichecks says it covers 7 markers across thyroid function, iron levels and hormone balance, but does not publish the specific list of markers included, which is unusual among the Medichecks tests we've reviewed and is the main reason its score for clarity and documentation is lower than most.
There is no comparable hair loss test in our data, so the £85 price can't be checked against a direct alternative; Medichecks itself doesn't provide one to benchmark against either. Clinical depth, based on the stated marker count of 7, sits around the middle of the men's health tests we track.
Where the test does well is collection: you can use an at-home finger-prick kit, or opt for a clinic visit or home nurse instead, with results back in around 7 days and a doctor's comment included.
This suits men who are noticing hair thinning or shedding and want a single test that looks at a few possible underlying causes, thyroid, iron and hormones, at once, particularly if you'd rather do it at home with a finger-prick kit than book a clinic appointment.
Because Medichecks doesn't publish exactly which 7 markers are included, if you want to know precisely what you're being tested for before you buy, it's worth contacting Medichecks directly to check, or choosing one of its other tests where the full marker list is published upfront.
This is a 7-marker blood test that Medichecks says covers thyroid function, iron levels and hormone balance, though it does not list the individual markers. You can collect the sample at home with a finger-prick kit, or via an in-store clinic or home nurse visit. Results are typically back in around 7 days, with a doctor's comment included.
This is a 7-marker hair loss blood test for men, priced at £85, covering thyroid function, iron levels and hormone balance according to Medichecks' own description. Medichecks doesn't publish the exact list of markers included, and there's no comparable hair loss test in our data to check the price against. It can be done at home with a finger-prick kit, with results in around 7 days.
The listing publishes a short description, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state the biomarkers measured, what the report looks like.
