Parameters the test analyses and how they make you tired
Fatigue can be caused by things ranging from Vitamin D deficiency
to issues with your thyroid or chronic inflammation.
Ferritin
What is this parameter all about?
- protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion
- used as an indicator to check for iron deficiency
How can it cause fatigue?
- iron deficiency leads to decreases in hemoglobin and red blood cells which carry oxygen to your brain and muscles
- these "oxygen transportation issues" negatively impact performance and overall wellbeing aka you feel tired and weak
Vit D3
-
-
What is this parameter all about?
-vitamin which affects lots of things in the body including bone structure, muscle function & immune system
How can it cause fatigue?
- while studies have proven that Vitamin D deficiency is associated with fatigue, the exact reason why is not 100% clear
- we kown, that Vitamin D for example affects muscle movement and regeneration. Therefore a deficiency can cause muscle weakness which might affect our general sense of energy
- It could also been shown that Vitamin D receptors are present in many areas of the brain and play a role in regulation of neurotransmitters, especially dopamin and serotonin. An imbalance might lead to tiredness and depressive mood
-
TSH
-
-
-
What is this parameter all about?
-key parameter to assess how well the thyroid functions
How can it cause fatigue?
- thyroid Hormons regulate activity level of the body
- this can affect things like sleep, metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure and digestion
- fatigue can occur with a underfunction as well as hyperfunction of the thyroid
- underfunction can for example lead to low blood pressure, slow metabolism and tiredness
- hyperfunction can indirectly cause tiredness by disrupting your sleep
-
-
Kreatinin
-
-
-
What is this parameter all about?
- indicator to assess muscle health and kidney function
How can it cause fatigue?
- kidneys play an important role in managing our body´s water balance & the eliminating waste products from our systems
- if kidneys don´t work so well, toxic waste products of our metabolism can stay in our bodies or issues with water balance can occur
- both can make us feel tired
-
-
ALT
-
-
-
What is this parameter all about?
- enzyme which is measured to check liver health
How can it cause fatigue?
- our liver plays an important role in "detoxifying" our bodies (one good example is alcohol)
- reduced liver function can mean that toxic "waste" remains in the body
- this for example negatively affects metabolism and brain fucntion which in turn causes tiredness
-
-
CRP
-
-
-
What is this parameter all about?
- so-callsed "non-spedific parameter " for measuring activity of the immune system
- can for example be used to detect infectionsHow can it cause fatigue?
- elevated CRP levels are a sign of latent infection or autoimmune or rheumatic diseases
- if you have an infection, your body is constantly "working on fighting the infection" which makes you tired
-
-
Basal Cortisol
-
-
-
What is this parameter all about?
- "stress hormone", produced by adrenal glands
- increases blood sugar
- suppresses the immune system
- aids in the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydratesHow can it cause fatigue?
- adrenal insufficiency (very rare) can mean a reduced ability to regulate "activity level" of our bodies
- this can make us feel tired
- since cortisol can fluctuate a lot, if there seems to be an issue, additional diagnostics will be needed to pinpoint the problem
