Blood tests that are general should be covered by the Australian medical system Medicare, are all that is required, there should be no out of pocket cost. It is best to work with your GP and explain your concerns and reason for blood tests to ensure all the general blood tests are included as they tell a story about your total health and immune system. General blood tests would include Iron Studies, B12, Haematology, Vitamin D, Cholesterol (Lipid profile), Chemistry and Thyroid basic testing with TSH, if your doctor can elaborate to include some further inflammatory markers such as CRP and ESR, that is also very helpful.
Your GP should be your partner in health, and you need to let them know about your health concerns first and second your hair and scalp concerns when requesting blood tests to get the help you need. Sadly, hair and scalp problems can be deemed cosmetic by the medical system and may not be reason enough for your GP to validate blood testing. If you have had past deficiency or hereditary health problems this should be mentioned to your GP, it all makes a difference in getting the tests you need.
Understanding the importance of all this; ferritin is the storage tank for our iron which is required for oxygen, energy, many cellular functions, immune function and support. Reference range for ferritin is 30-300, if your ferritin is 30 you are considered low but in range. Low range ferritin topped with other triggers such as stress, illness, injury or surgery is a recipe for an autoimmune conditions. Vitamin D, reference range is 150-300 however most pathology departments are still using 4 plus years old range of >49. If your Vitamin D is at 60 your deemed fine, but science now knows we need Vitamin D for immune function as well as many other functions including hormone production, health hair and skin and much more.
