Fatigue Panel:
Fasting: Yes 10-12 hours
Lab: Quest Diagnostics
Specimen: Blood
Results: Average processing time 2-3 days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Panel Includes:
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) is a frequently ordered group of 14 laboratory tests that gives important information about the current status of your kidneys, liver, and electrolyte and acid/base balance as well as of your blood sugar and blood proteins. Abnormal results, and especially combinations of abnormal results, can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) (includes Differential And Platelets), Is a blood test that checks hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets. Used as a broad screening test to check for such disorders as anemia, infection, and many other diseases. Changing levels of red or white blood cells can indicate disease or infection and are very helpful in a health screening.
Hemoglobin A1C indicates how well you have controlled your diabetes over the last few months. Even though you may have some very high or very low blood glucose values, Hemoglobin A1C will give you a picture of the average amount of glucose in your blood over that time period. While the Hemoglobin A1C is the standard tool to determine blood sugar control for patients with diabetes, it is not a substitute for daily, routine blood glucose testing.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the cells and reflects the amount of iron in the body. It is primarily found in the liver, spleen, skeletal muscles and bone marrow. Levels decrease when a person is not getting sufficient iron and increase when they take in an excess of iron. Iron deficiency may not cause any symptoms at first. As it becomes more severe, a person may experience symptoms such as chronic fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headaches and pale skin. Iron overload may cause symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, weakness, abdominal pain, hair loss, weight loss and heart problems.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is the best way to initially test thyroid function. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland is failing because of a problem that is directly affecting the thyroid (primary hypothyroidism). The opposite situation, in which the TSH level is low, usually indicates that the person has an overactive thyroid that is producing too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). Occasionally, a low TSH may result from an abnormality in the pituitary gland, which prevents it from making enough TSH to stimulate the thyroid (secondary hypothyroidism). In most healthy individuals, a normal TSH value means that the thyroid is functioning normally.
Thyroxine T4 (Free), this test is used to evaluate thyroid function in individuals who may have protein abnormalities that could affect total T4 levels. It is used to evaluate thyroid function and monitor replacement and suppressive therapy.
