Tiredness/Fatigue Profile

What can I expect from Tiredness/Fatigue Profile?

This test is designed to discover clues in your blood as to why you may be feeling unusually tired or fatigued. It will give you information on on several common things that doctors look for in blood tests that may give physical reasons for tiredness. It includes a full blood count and tests for vitamin D, inflammation, iron levels including ferritin and thyroid function tests.

Analysis of 9 essential biomarkers including: Blood Count / Iron levels / Ferritin / Transferrin / Vitamin D / Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) / Free T4 (Throxine)

How do the tests work?

There is no better way to check for underlying health problems, or monitor existing conditions, than with a blood test. From our dedicated, state-of-the-art laboratory in London we offer the latest in pathology testing solutions across many disciplines including biochemistry, immunology, haematology, sexual health screening and molecular biology.

Whether you are concerned about your health, managing an existing condition or simply curious, a blood test with London Medical Laboratory provides a fast, affordable and easy way to start taking charge of your own health.

We offer a range of testing options to try and make the process as simple, stress free and convenient as possible.

Home Testing Kits - User-friendly finger-prick self-testing kits sent to you using the Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked postal service
In-Store Phlebotomy - For even faster results you can come into one of our stores to have your blood taken by one of our qualified phlebotomists
Mobile Phlebotomy - We can even come to you! For added convenience one of our qualified mobile phlebotomists can visit you at home or in your office

You will receive your results on the day after we receive your sample in our laboratory. We run a 24/7 laboratory operation and test all samples as quickly as possible after receiving them which enables our team of in-house GPs to review and communicate your results in the fastest possible timeframe.

*It is important to note that blood tests alone are not a substitute for seeing a doctor, particularly if you have any symptoms. You should not make a diagnosis or start any treatment without a consultation with a doctor or suitably trained healthcare professional.

Full Blood Count (30 Biomarkers)

A full blood count can be used to check your overall health and may help detect a wide range of issues such as infection, anaemia and leukaemia. 

Basophils

Basophils are one of the several kinds of white blood cells you have in your body. Basophils are a part of your immune system and are created inside of your bone marrow.

Basophils percent

This is a laboratory calculation based on the number of Basolphils.

BLAST ABS

Eosinophils

Eosinophils are a kind of white blood cell that helps fight disease. Eosinophils do two important things in your immune system: curb infections and boost inflammation, which can help you fight off a disease.

Eosinophils percent

This is a laboratory calculation based on the number of Eosinophils.

Haematocrit

This test tells how much of your blood is made up of red blood cells. A low score may be a sign that you don’t have enough iron, the mineral that helps your body make red blood cells. A high score could mean you’re dehydrated or have another condition.

Haemoglobin

This is the protein in your blood that holds oxygen.

Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They’re an important part of your immune system. 

Lymphocytes percent

This is a laboratory calculation based on the number of Lymphocytes.

Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration

Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration is the average concentration of hemoglobin in your red blood cells.

Mean Cell Haemoglobin

Mean Cell Haemoglobin is the average mass of hemoglobin (Hb) per red blood cell (RBC) in a sample of blood.

Mean Corpuscular Volume

Mean Cell Volume (MCV) measures the average size of your red blood cells. 

Mean Platelet Volume

Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) tests show the mean number of platelets you have in your blood.

METAMYELOCYTES ABS

Metamyelocytes

Monocytes

Monocytes are a type of white blood cell in your immune system. Monocytes turn into macrophage or dendritic cells when an invading germ or bacteria enters your body. The cells either kill the invader or alert other blood cells to help destroy it and prevent infection.

Monocytes percent

This is a laboratory calculation based on the number of monocytes as described in the section above.

Neutrophils

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell. They make up the biggest number of all kinds of white blood cells. They kill and digest bacteria and fungi to help your body fight infections and heal wounds. 

Neutrophils percent

This is a laboratory calculation based on the number of neutrophils.

NRBC %

Nucleated RBCs    

NRBC ABS

Platelet Count

A platelet count is a lab test to measure how many platelets you have in your blood. Platelets are parts of the blood that help the blood clot.

PROMYELOCYTES%

Promyelocytes%

PROMYELOCYTES ABS

Promyelocytes

Red Cell Count

A red blood cell (RBC) count is a blood test that tells you how many red blood cells you have.

Red Cell Distribution Width

A red cell distribution width (RDW) test measures the differences in the volume and size of your red blood cells (erythrocytes)

White Cell Count

 The White Cell Count measures the number of white cells in your blood.

Iron Studies (5 Biomarkers)

Iron studies are a set of blood tests used to measure the amount of iron carried in the blood and stored in the bodies tissues. Iron deficiency can be the cause of a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, chest pains and a shortness of breath. 

Ferritin

Ferritin is a blood protein that is used to store iron. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Ferritin is measured to understand how much iron the body is storing. Ferritin tests are used to help diagnose anaemia and liver disease. 

Iron

Iron is a mineral which is needed for making red blood cells, which transports oxygen in the blood, and which is important for healthy muscles, bone marrow and healthy organ function. Low levels of iron can indicate anaemia whereas high levels can indicate liver disease. 

Total Iron-Binding Capacity

Total Iron Binding Concentration (TIBC) is the maximum amount of iron that can be transported in the blood. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. TIBC tests are used to determine iron status and its absorption. This can be used to help diagnose Anaemia and iron overload conditions such as Haemochromatosis. Your TIBC will be impaired if you also have existing liver disease.

Transferrin Saturation

Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity

Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration (UIBC) is the amount of transferrin that is reserved for the iron transportation. Iron is used for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. UIBC tests are used to monitor treatment for iron toxicity.

Thyroid (2 Biomarkers)

Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. If your thyroid isn't functioning properly, it can cause tiredness, mood problems and weight issues. 

Free T4 (thyroxine)

Free T4 (free thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This hormone is involved in several body functions including metabolism and growth. It can be used for the diagnosis of thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism as well as aiding the diagnosis of female infertility problems. Free T4 is commonly tested with TSH. 

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are made by the pituitary gland in the brain to stimulate the thyroid gland (located by the throat). The hormones that are produced are used to regulate weight, body temperature and muscle strength. Levels of TSH are measured as it is an indicator of thyroid disease and is commonly tested with Free T4 and Free T3.

Vitamins (1 Biomarkers)

Vitamins are a group of substances that our bodies need for normal cell function, growth and development. Vitamin deficiencies can be the cause of a wide range of common symptoms and conditions. 

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a vitamin which is used in the regulation of calcium and magnesium absorption from the gut, it is also important for the growth and health of bones. Vitamin D comes from two sources; it can be ingested from foods and supplements or be produced in the skin once it is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D tests are used to identify vitamin D deficiency and to monitor disease that interfere with fat absorption like Crohn’s disease.
