Hair Loss/ Post Finasteride/ Hormone Optimization Panel

$495.00

Specialized panel focused on detailed hormone analysis and potential side effects of finasteride treatment – essential for monitoring and managing post-finasteride symptoms as well as evaluating total androgen pool to evaluate risk before starting therapy.
What markers are included?
This panel provides a comprehensive overview of your health, helping your doctor diagnose conditions related to hair loss, monitor treatment, and assess overall improvements.

Hormones

  1. LH & FSH: Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) are involved in reproductive health and can indicate issues with the pituitary gland or reproductive organs.
  2. Testosterone Free and Total LC/MS: Measures levels of testosterone, a key hormone in both men and women, affecting muscle mass, bone density, and mood.
  3. Estradiol Free LC/MS: Measures levels of estradiol, a form of estrogen, important for reproductive and sexual function.
  4. DHT Free and Total: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen affecting hair growth in men and women as well as prostate health.
  5. Prolactin: A hormone that can affect menstrual cycles and milk production in women, as well as libido and breast growth in men.
  6. Cortisol: Known as the stress hormone, it helps control blood sugar levels, regulate metabolism, and reduce inflammation.
  7. DHEA Sulfate: A precursor to sex hormones, important for overall hormonal balance.
  8. Pregnenolone: A precursor to various hormones, including progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.
  9. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): A protein that binds to sex hormones, affecting their availability in the body.

Metabolism

  1. GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase): An enzyme that indicates liver health and function.
  2. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (14 markers): Includes tests for kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance. Thyroid
  3. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Regulates thyroid function.
  4. T4 Free and T3 Free: These are the main hormones produced by the thyroid gland, crucial for metabolism. T4 is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland, which is then converted into T3, the “active” form

Diabetes Risk

  1. HbA1c: Indicates average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.
  2. Insulin: Measures insulin levels, important for diagnosing insulin resistance and diabetes.

Nutrition and Anemia

  1. Complete Blood Cell (CBC) report: Provides information on red and white blood cells and platelets, indicating overall health and detecting conditions like anemia.
  2. Iron serum, UIBC/TIBC, Ferritin: Measure iron levels and storage, important for diagnosing anemia and other conditions.

Cardiac Health

  1. Lipid Panel: This test measures cholesterol levels, including LDL (historically called “bad cholesterol”) and HDL (historically called “good cholesterol”).
  2. C-Reactive Protein (CRP): Indicates inflammation in the body, which can be a marker for heart disease.
