What can I expect from Tiredness/Fatigue Profile?

This test is designed to discover clues in your blood as to why you may be feeling unusually tired or fatigued. 

It will give you information on on several common things that doctors look for in blood tests that may give physical reasons for tiredness. It includes a full blood count and tests for vitamin D, inflammation, iron levels including ferritin and thyroid function tests.

Analysis of 9 essential biomarkers including: 

• Full Blood Count

• Iron levels 

• Ferritin

• Transferrin

• Vitamin D

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 

• Free T4 (Throxine)

Due to the inclusion of a full blood count this test requires a phlebotomy sample which can be given at any of our 100+ nationwide partner locations. 

What gets tested?

Full Blood Count (20 health indicators)

• Basophils

• Basophils percent

• Eosinophils

• Eosinophils percent

• Haematocrit

• Haemoglobin

• Lymphocytes

• Lymphocytes percent

• Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration

• Mean Cell Haemoglobin

• Mean Cell Volume (MCV)

• Mean Platelet Volume

• Monocytes

• Monocytes percent

• Neutrophils

• Neutrophils percent

• Platelet Count

• Red Cell Count

• Red Cell Distribution Width

• White Cell Count

A full blood count (FBC) is a common blood test that gives a snapshot of your general health. It measures different types of cells in your blood, such as red blood cells, which carry oxygen; white blood cells, which fight infection; and platelets, which help blood to clot. This test can help diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, and even effects of chemotherapy. It also assists doctors in monitoring overall health and the impact of ongoing treatments, ensuring that any significant changes are noted and addressed promptly.

Iron Studies (5 Biomarkers)

• Ferritin

• Iron

• Total Iron-Binding Capacity

• Transferrin Saturation

• Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity

Iron studies are a set of blood tests used to measure the amount of iron carried in the blood and stored in the bodies tissues. Iron deficiency can be the cause of a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, chest pains and a shortness of breath. 

Thyroid (2 health indicators)

• Free T4 (thyroxine)

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. If your thyroid isn't functioning properly, it can cause tiredness, mood problems and weight issues. 

Vitamins (1 health indicators)

• Vitamin D

Vitamins are a group of substances that our bodies need for normal cell function, growth and development. Vitamin deficiencies can be the cause of a wide range of common symptoms and conditions.
