I am experiencing hair loss each month and can now see my scalp and it's continuing to fall out. I have primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Lupus. I have been diagnosed with low vitamin D, Low B-12, low Ferritin, low Calc% Iron SAT, and high Homocysteine. My ferritin has come up to 38 from a low of 5. The reference range the lab gives is 10-220 NG/ML. I have been taking vitamin D, B-12 and most recently a prescription for Folic Acid. In November of 2016 I saw my Rheum. and Hematolotgist and talked about my hair loss. They ran labs which included THS at 1.6 range 0.5-4.7, FREE T3 at 3.3 range 2.3-4.2, FREE T4 (Thryoxine) 1.22 range 0.73-1.95. I will be seeing a new Hematologist and wondering if there are other thyroid tests I should be asking him to run since these are in the normal range? I've been told that Thyroid problems can be a issue with my Antiphospholipid, including hair loss and was encouraged to look into this site. Thanks for any feed back anyone might have.
Update on USA labs: Ferritin lab was 38 and range is 10-220
I'm not sure what the Vitamin D or B-12 levels were because I received a letter but no levels. I will contact dr.
Homocysteine was 12.4 and range is 5.0-12.0
Calc%Iron SAT was 17 and range is 20-50%
LDH was 235 and range is 135-214
I'm not sure if folate and folic acid are the same labs.
With these number does anyone have a suggestion as to what tests I should ask my hematologist to check tomorrow?
