    medical procedures analyzing blood components to diagnose and monitor health

    Blood tests, also known as blood work or blood analysis, are medical procedures that involve taking a sample of blood to analyze its components. These tests can measure various substances in the blood, such as glucose, cholesterol, hormones, and blood cells, to help diagnose conditions, monitor health, and guide treatment decisions. For instance, in the context of alopecia, blood tests might be used to check for underlying issues like thyroid dysfunction or nutritional deficiencies that could contribute to hair loss.
