Blood Test Kit(s)-Fatigue Assessment

Fatigue Test - At-home blood test kit

Our comprehensive Fatigue blood test is a personalized diagnostic tool meticulously crafted to pinpoint the root causes of fatigue. Designed with your health in mind, it delves into a range of crucial biomarkers, shedding light on what might be causing your persistent tiredness.

Included Biomarkers: Full Blood Count, Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Vitamin D3, Ferritin

Fatigue is an exceedingly prevalent health concern, with approximately 74% of adults in the UK reporting frequent or perpetual feelings of tiredness, as per the Royal Society for Public Health. If you're experiencing constant fatigue, this Fatigue Blood Test is a valuable resource in uncovering potential underlying issues that may be contributing to your condition.

The tests included in this comprehensive assessment are as follows:

Full Blood Count (FBC): This test evaluates the levels of various blood cell types in your body. Low levels of red blood cells (anemia) can induce symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, and breathlessness.

Ferritin: Ferritin is a vital protein responsible for storing iron in your body. Insufficient ferritin levels can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, which in turn may result in fatigue, weakness, and dizziness.

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a pivotal role in stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Reduced thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism) can manifest as fatigue, weight gain, and depression.

Vitamin D3: This nutrient aids in calcium absorption and the maintenance of healthy bones. Inadequate Vitamin D3 levels can trigger fatigue, muscle weakness, and bone pain.

This test is recommended for anyone grappling with persistent tiredness. Furthermore, it is highly advisable for individuals with risk factors such as a family history of thyroid disorders or those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, which may result in lower iron levels.

Purpose of the Test: There exists a multitude of potential reasons behind your fatigue. Common culprits include inadequate sleep, high stress levels, a sedentary lifestyle, and suboptimal nutrition. Additionally, underlying medical conditions such as anemia, hypothyroidism, diabetes, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) can contribute to fatigue. Certain medications may also induce fatigue as a side effect.
