The blood test packages for investigating hair, skin, and nail problems are designed to conduct comprehensive examinations to identify health issues that may affect hair growth, skin condition, and nail health. These tests are important for diagnosing deficiencies and disorders that may cause aesthetic or functional problems.

Who should consider and benefit from these tests?

These tests are beneficial for individuals:

• For those experiencing hair loss, deterioration in hair quality, brittle or breaking nails.
• For those suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, or experiencing dryness, itching, or inflammatory processes in the skin.
• For those suspecting that their diet may lack important nutrients.
• For those wanting to check if health disorders, such as thyroid problems, might be affecting their hair, skin, and nails condition.

When is it recommended to perform these tests?

Tests are recommended:

• Levels of iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, folic acid, vitamins B12 and D, which are essential for healthy hair, skin, and nails.
• Levels of thyroid hormones (TSH, FT4) and antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (ATPO), as these indicators can reveal thyroid function problems that have a significant impact on hair and skin health.
• Total protein levels, important for maintaining the structure of skin and hair.
• Activity of digestive enzymes (lipase, pancreatic amylase), which can indicate digestive system issues affecting nutrient absorption.
• Coprogram analysis can reveal digestive system disorders that may affect overall nutrient absorption.
• Presence of Candida antibodies, indicating a possible fungal infection that may affect the condition of the skin and mucous membranes.

What can the patient learn after performing these tests?

After performing these tests, the patient can learn:

• Upon noticing the first symptoms that may indicate health problems related to hair, skin, or nails.
• In the presence of known nutritional or health issues that may affect the condition of the skin, hair, or nails.
• Periodically, especially if the person has previously been diagnosed with conditions affecting hair growth and skin health.
• Before changing diet or treatment strategies related to the management of these issues.

These studies provide doctors and patients with the necessary information to identify potential health issues affecting the condition of hair, skin, and nails, and help to formulate effective treatment strategies.
