Hair loss blood tests in Doha: which markers are checked

What the package includes

The Hair Loss Check covers CBC (complete blood count), Ferritin, Vitamin D (25-OH), Zinc in Plasma and TSH, priced at QAR 699.

These five sit across blood, nutrient and thyroid categories, which is why they are bundled rather than ordered one at a time.

Reading the results

A laboratory report tells you the measured value of each marker against the laboratory's reference range. It does not identify a cause on its own.

Take the report to a dermatologist or your treating doctor, who can combine it with your history and examination.

Booking in Doha

The package can be booked online for a visit to Laffan Tower in West Bay, or with home sample collection at your address.

If you would also like thyroid hormones beyond TSH, compare the Thyroid Function package, which adds Free T3 and Free T4.

How booking works at Eden, step by step

Every Eden package is booked from the same short online form. You choose the package, decide between a visit to the laboratory at Laffan Tower in West Bay or home sample collection, pick the date and time that suits you, add your contact details, and state whether you are paying yourself or using insurance. A confirmation number is shown on screen as soon as the request is submitted, and the laboratory team follows up to confirm the slot.

Prices are published next to each package, in Qatari riyals, with the full list of included biomarkers. There is no separate consultation charge for booking a package, and nothing is added to the list of tests without your agreement. If you prefer to arrange the appointment by phone, call 4044 1999 or send a message on WhatsApp to 5580 1999.

If you hold health insurance, Eden works with MSH, GIG, Henner, Cigna, MetLife, GlobeMed, QLM and AlKoot. Bring your insurance card together with your Qatar ID so reception can verify your coverage before the sample is taken.

Reading and keeping your Eden report

Eden issues a digital laboratory report that lists every measured value beside the laboratory reference range, so you and your doctor can see exactly what was analysed. You can request a secure PDF by email or through the patient portal, and a printed copy can be prepared for pickup or delivery if you need one for a clinic visit, an employer or an insurance file.

A result that sits outside a reference range is not a diagnosis on its own; ranges vary with the method used, and a value only becomes meaningful alongside your symptoms, history and examination. Eden reports the measurements accurately and leaves interpretation to your treating clinician.

Keeping your previous reports is useful. Comparing the same marker measured on the same panel over time usually tells a clinician more than a single reading, which is why many patients repeat the same Eden package rather than switching between different test lists.
