Tired All the Time
A blood test to help investigate persistent tiredness, low energy and unexplained fatigue. This profile checks for nutritional deficiencies, thyroid changes and other health markers that may help explain your symptoms. Your results are assessed alongside your medical history, symptoms and lifestyle to guide advice and next steps.
What does it check?
- Full blood count: Haemoglobin, red and white blood cells, and platelets, to help identify changes such as anaemia
- Iron levels and stores: Ferritin, iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin and transferrin saturation
- Thyroid health: TSH, free T3, free T4 and thyroid antibodies
- Nutritional and bone markers: Vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, albumin and alkaline phosphatase
- Kidney function and electrolytes: Including creatinine, eGFR, cystatin C, urea, sodium and potassium
- Blood sugar regulation: Glucose, HbA1c, insulin and C-peptide
- Inflammation: C-reactive protein (CRP)
