Tired All The Time Blood Test by OneDayTests

Comprehensive blood test to identify deficiencies and imbalances causing fatigue.

Additional Information

Feeling tired all the time is a widespread concern. This test explores potential medical causes of persistent fatigue, helping you identify or rule them out for appropriate treatment. It examines a wide array of biomarkers, including a full blood count (checking for anaemia), CRP (for infection or autoimmune disorders), liver and kidney function, sugar levels (for diabetes), and crucial micronutrients like vitamin B12, folate, and ferritin (iron levels). Deficiencies in these nutrients are common and can be easily addressed; low levels are often linked to feelings of exhaustion.

Biomarkers Tested (35)

White Blood Cell Count (/µL)

Responsible for fighting infection. A high count can indicate recent infection and even stress, whilst a low count can result from vitamin deficiencies, liver disease and immune diseases.

Hematocrit (%)

Hematocrit (Hct) is the proportion of red blood cells in your blood. Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, dehydration, or other conditions.

MCH (pg)

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. Abnormal levels can indicate different types of anemia.

Volume (ml)

Measures the amount of semen produced during ejaculation. Abnormal volume may affect fertility.

Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.

Unbound thyroxine (Free T4) (pmol/L)

Active form of thyroid hormone.

Prolactin (ng/mL)

Prolactin stimulates milk production in women and affects reproductive health. Abnormal levels can indicate pituitary disorders.

Folate (ng/mL)

Vitamin B9; role in DNA creation and red blood cell production.

Bilirubin (mg/dL)

Bilirubin is a substance produced during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. High levels can lead to jaundice and indicate liver or bile duct problems.

GGT (U/L)

Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme which can be used to diagnose alcohol abuse as it is typically raised in long term drinkers.

eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²)

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) assesses kidney function by estimating the rate at which kidneys filter waste from the blood.

Glucose (mg/dL)

Glucose is a type of sugar that provides energy for the body's cells. High levels can indicate diabetes or other endocrine disorders.

Red Blood Cell Count (/µL)

Responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. A high count can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, whilst a low count can mean your body isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.

MCV (fL)

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) measures the average size of red blood cells. Abnormal levels can indicate various types of anemia.

RDW (%)

RDW is a calculation of the variation in the size of your red blood cells. A high RDW value may indicate the presence of certain medical conditions, such as anaemia, liver disease, or vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.

Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.

Unbound triiodothyronine (Free T3) (pmol/L)

Another active form of thyroid hormone.

Vitamin B-12 (pmol/L)

Essential vitamin for nerve function and red blood cell production. Deficiency can cause hair loss.

Globulin (g/dL)

Any of a group of simple proteins found in the blood.

Total Protein (g/dL)

A measure of all of the proteins in the plasma portion of your blood. Proteins are important building blocks of all cells and tissues - they are important for body growth and health.

Alkaline phosphatase (U/L)

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in many tissues, with high concentrations in the liver, bile ducts, and bone. Elevated levels may indicate liver disease or bone disorders.

Urea (mmol/L)

A high concentration of this waste product can indicate dehydration or that your kidneys aren’t working properly.

hs-CRP (High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) (mg/L)

hs-CRP measures inflammation and is a marker for cardiovascular risk. Elevated levels indicate systemic inflammation.

Haemoglobin (g/dL)

A good measure of your blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout your body. Elevated haemoglobin can be an indicator of lung disease, whilst a low result indicates anaemia.

MCH (pg)

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. Abnormal levels can indicate different types of anemia.

Platelets (PLT) (/µL)

Blood cells involved in blood clotting.

Monocytes (MON) (%)

Type of white blood cell involved in immune defense.

Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.

TSH (mIU/L)

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) helps regulate the thyroid gland, which affects metabolism. Abnormal levels can indicate thyroid disorders.

Ferritin (ng/mL)

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation.

Albumin (g/dL)

Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps keep fluid in your bloodstream and carries various substances throughout your body. Low levels can indicate liver or kidney disease.

ALT (U/L)

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly produced by the liver. A good indicator of liver damage caused by alcohol, drugs or hepatitis.

Creatinine (mg/dL)

Creatinine (Cr) is a waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.

HbA1c (%)

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measures the average blood sugar levels over the past three months. It helps monitor long-term glucose control in diabetics.
