Tests Included in the Energy & Fatigue Blood Screen

 

Kidney Function

Tests included: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Urea, Creatinine and eGFR.

Healthy kidneys play an important role in maintaining fluid balance, electrolyte regulation and overall wellbeing.

These tests may identify:

• Reduced kidney function

• Dehydration

• Chronic kidney disease

• Electrolyte abnormalities

Symptoms that may prompt testing include:

• Fatigue

• Muscle cramps

• Swelling

• Changes in urination

​

Full Blood Count

A Full Blood Count with a five-part differential assesses your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

This helps investigate:

• Anaemia

• Infection

• Inflammation

• Blood disorders

Symptoms include:

• Fatigue

• Breathlessness

• Frequent infections

• Easy bruising

​

Inflammation

Test included: CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

CRP is a marker of inflammation within the body.

Raised levels may occur with:

• Infection

• Autoimmune conditions

• Inflammatory disorders

Persistent inflammation can contribute to ongoing fatigue and poor wellbeing.

​

Mineral Assessment

Tests included: Magnesium, Calcium and Corrected Calcium.

These minerals are essential for healthy muscle contraction, nerve function, bone health and energy production.

Low levels may contribute to:

• Muscle cramps

• Weakness

• Tingling

• Fatigue

​

Iron Studies

Tests included: Iron, Ferritin, Transferrin and Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC, TIBC and Transferrin Saturation).

Iron deficiency is one of the most common medical causes of fatigue.

A comprehensive iron study helps determine whether symptoms are due to:

• Iron deficiency

• Reduced iron stores

• Iron overload

• Chronic disease affecting iron metabolism

Symptoms may include:

• Persistent tiredness

• Hair loss

• Breathlessness

• Restless legs

• Reduced concentration

​

Vitamin Assessment

Tests included: Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and Folate.

Vitamin deficiencies are a common cause of fatigue, particularly during the winter months or in people with restricted diets.

Symptoms may include:

• Low energy

• Muscle weakness

• Tingling

• Poor concentration

• Low mood

• Frequent infections

​

Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment

Tests included: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibodies and Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies.

Unlike a basic thyroid screen, this panel provides a comprehensive assessment of thyroid function and also looks for evidence of autoimmune thyroid disease.

Thyroid disorders commonly cause:

• Fatigue

• Weight gain

• Cold intolerance

• Dry skin

• Hair loss

• Constipation

• Brain fog

​

Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health

Tests included: Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin and C-Peptide.

These tests assess how your body regulates blood sugar and produces insulin.

They may help identify:

• Prediabetes

• Type 2 diabetes

• Insulin resistance

• Early metabolic dysfunction

Symptoms may include:

• Fatigue

• Increased thirst

• Frequent urination

• Difficulty losing weight

• Sugar cravings

​

Additional Health Markers

Tests included: Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase and Cystatin-C.

These additional markers provide further information about nutritional status, liver function, bone health and kidney function, helping to create a more complete picture of your overall health.

​

​

Why These Tests Are Grouped Together

 

Persistent fatigue is one of the most common reasons people visit their GP, but there is rarely a single cause. Anaemia, iron deficiency, thyroid disorders, vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, chronic inflammation and kidney disease can all produce similar symptoms.

​

The Energy & Fatigue Blood Screen has been carefully designed to investigate these common causes in one comprehensive panel. By assessing multiple body systems together, your doctor can identify underlying health concerns, detect nutritional deficiencies or provide reassurance when results are normal.
