This test is suitable for people with severe or long-lasting fatigue that does not improve, or when the basic package did not provide a clear explanation. In addition to all basic tests, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and a complete blood count (CBC) are added to detect active inflammation, infections, and blood disorders that can cause fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is tested?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D\u003c\/strong\u003e – For energy, immune system, and bone health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B12\u003c\/strong\u003e – Essential for energy production and nerve function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTSH\u003c\/strong\u003e – Thyroid-stimulating hormone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efT4\u003c\/strong\u003e – Free thyroxine (active thyroid hormone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlucose\u003c\/strong\u003e – Blood sugar level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFerritin\u003c\/strong\u003e – Iron storage in the body (early indicator of iron deficiency)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eESR (sedimentation)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (inflammation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCBC complete\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hemoglobin, Platelets, Leukocytes (full blood count) + much more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you have a Comprehensive Fatigue Test?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is important when your basic fatigue test results were normal but you are still very tired, or when, in addition to fatigue, you have other symptoms such as fever, weight loss, night sweats, or painful joints. The ESR (sedimentation) is a sensitive marker for inflammation and can indicate autoimmune diseases, infections, or other inflammatory conditions. A complete blood count shows whether there are problems with white blood cells (infections, immune disorders) or platelets. Ferritin is more sensitive than serum iron for detecting iron deficiency. This test requires fasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results provide deeper insight into possible causes of persistent fatigue.
