diagnosis - other blood test results

In terms of hair loss, the tests of most use are described on other pages in this section of keratin.com. However, below is a list of normal ranges for other blood tests in case you see them on your test result charts.

Other blood test results table

Note; only the basic ranges are listed here and mostly refere to adult normal ranges. Values for children may be significantly different. Normal ranges will also be slightly different in different laboratories as there is no calibration of the tests between different labs.
