The Tiredness & Fatigue Health Test checks for various biomarkers within you blood to identify possible causes for your tiredness and enable you to get the treatment you need. Some of the causes of persistent fatigue and tiredness can include diabetes, vitamin deficiency, anaemia, and thyroid illnesses.

What biomarkers does the Tiredness & Fatigue Health Test look for?

This health screening check tests for 8 different biomarkers:

Iron
Iron is used in the body to create new blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. You iron level is a measure of how much iron is circulating in the blood. This tells you the state of your existing iron reserves, with too much iron indicating disorders of iron storage, or low levels indicating iron deficiency.

Transferrin
A protein found in the blood that plays a central role in transporting iron through the blood to various tissues and organs in the body.

Ferritin
Ferritin is also a blood protein that indicates how much iron your body is storing, with the higher the number the greater the amount of iron stored. This can indicate excess iron storage which can lead to conditions such as haemochromatosis, or iron deficiency.

Total Iron Binding Concentration
This is the measure how much transferrin in your blood is binding to iron to be transported around the body.

Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration
This is the measure of how much transferrin in your blood stream is not yet bound to iron.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is very common for people in the UK due to our climate, even if you exercise or spend a lot of time outdoors. It is also common in those following a strict vegan diet. Vitamin D can only be obtained from external sources, and deficiency can lead to fatigue, bone deformities, reduced immunity, muscle, and bone pain.

Thyroxine (Free T4)
Your thyroid is a gland in your neck which produces hormones to manage and maintain your metabolism. If your thyroid under-produces hormones you can experience symptoms such as tiredness and lethargy, dry or brittle hair, dry or sensitive skin and weight gain. An overactive thyroid can lead to weight loss or feelings of anxiety.

Full Blood Count (with 5 part White Cell Differential)
Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen around your body, whereas White blood cells in your body are integral for fighting against infections and protecting from harmful germs or bacteria entering your system.

Too few red blood cells can indicate an issue with blood cell production, which can lead to anaemia, fatigue, and pale skin.

There are 5 different types of white blood cells, all of which are created within the stem cells of your bone marrow. Checking the five main types of white blood cells will identify levels of each in your bloodstream, from which you can determine whether you may have an issue with white blood cell production. Too few white blood cells can impact your body’s ability to fight infections or inflammation, making you more susceptible to illness or infection, which may be causing your tiredness symptoms. Each white blood cell performs a different function within your immune system to identify and protect you from microbes, parasites, and bacteria.

    How a Sample is Taken

    With most health tests, there are two options for taking a sample of blood, which is used to test for certain biomarkers. The two most common options are a finger-prick or venous draw:

    Finger prick Draw:
    Health Tests that take blood via the ‘finger-prick’ method are usually done within the comfort of your own home, enabling you to take a small amount of blood discreetly and conveniently when you want to.  

    Venous Draw:
    Once you have booked your health test, you’ll be sent the blood kit which includes all the equipment needed for a professional blood draw by an experienced healthcare professional, with clinics available across the UK to take your sample.

    Details about which option is available for this health test, are available when you compare the results.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • The symptoms of exhaustion include disrupted sleep patterns, a change in routine, irritability, and extreme fatigue. Exhaustion leaves you tired and with a lack of energy. It’s not the same as feeling sleepy or drowsy. When you have extreme exhaustion and fatigue, you are not motivated or have any energy to tackle tasks in your daily routine.

    • It is normal to be tired from time-to-time depending on your lifestyle and activity levels. When being tired impacts on your quality of life and prevents you from doing things you enjoy, this is unsustainable, and a solution is recommended. Most cases of tiredness and fatigue can be remedied by lifestyle or dietary changes, in addition to treatment if there is an underlying medical condition.

    • Diabetes, heart disease, low testosterone, arthritis, liver disease, anaemia, thyroid disease, fibromyalgia, chronic kidney disease and sleep apnoea are associated with causing tiredness.
