About the Tired All The Time Blood Test

Tiredness is a very common complaint. Often it is a result of busy and stressful lifestyles, but it may be a symptom of a number of medical conditions.

The Tired All the Time Screen will help you exclude these as a cause of your fatigue or will allow you to receive the treatment that will make you feel better. Because tiredness can result from so many different conditions, this screen includes a large number of biomarkers.

We check your full blood count to exclude anaemia and other blood disorders, the inflammatory marker CRP to exclude infection and autoimmune disorders, your thyroid function because an under-active thyroid is a common cause of tiredness, and the health of your liver and kidneys because problems with these can also cause fatigue.

We test your sugar levels to exclude diabetes, which is another important and common cause of tiredness.

Lastly, we check for the micronutrients vitamin B12, folate and ferritin (a marker of iron levels). Deficiencies in these nutrients are very common and easily treated, and low levels of all these vitamins can cause you to feel exhausted.

    We are extremely proud of our very short turnaround times and a very efficient laboratory processes. Whilst we accommodate the shortest of time scales, with some results available within hours, you should allow up to 48 hours for you results to come back for routine testing and potentially longer for specialised investigations.

Special instructions

Hi, I am Stefania Brown, I am the Laboratory Manager at One Day Tests and here are the lab's special requests for the Tired All The Time Blood Test.

Take this test after any symptoms of short term illness have settled.

This is a fasting test so have nothing to eat and only drink water from 10pm the night before you take the test.

If you are taking biotin supplements, stop these for 72 hours before the test.

Venepuncture appointment - how to prepare

If you are coming into one of our clinics for the test, this is what you need to do before you arrive:

  • Drink plenty of water about an hour before the appointment.
  • Avoid coffee/tea/energy drinks. Water is good!
  • That’s it! We’ll do the rest.

Home test kit for Tired All The Time Blood Test - how it works

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

If I forget to fast, is the test still valid?

Most of the tests in this screen do not require you to fast. We interpret the blood glucose level on the assumption that you have fasted, so if you forget then it may lead us to believe there is a problem when there actually isn’t. A ‘random’ glucose (i.e. taken when you haven’t fasted) can still be useful, a normal result is reassuring but a high result should prompt further investigations.

How does this test exclude autoimmune conditions?

We check CRP which is a marker of inflammation and is often raised in autoimmune conditions. The screen also checks for the end result of a variety of autoimmune conditions such as abnormal thyroid hormone levels, abnormal liver or kidney tests, or high blood sugar levels.

Will this tell me if the menopause may be causing my tiredness?

No, we don’t test the female hormones in this test. You may be interested in the Female Hormones Blood Test which will give you that information.

Why take this test?

Hi, I am Dr. Marco Esposito and here is why it's important to take this test.
  • You want a thorough health check
  • You feel exhausted and want to know why
  • You are worried about a family history of thyroid problems, diabetes, liver or kidney disease

Is this test right for you?

Hi, I am Jehad Al-Nashash, I am the Laboratory Director. Here are the symptoms that you may wish to address with this test.

Tiredness is a very common complaint and there are a variety of potential medical conditions that can cause this.

The Tired All the Time screen is right for you if you are worried about conditions such as thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, or anaemia.
