Ferritin
About ferritin
- protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion
- used as an indicator to check for iron deficiency, a comon cause for tiredness
How it can cause ongoing tiredness
- Iron is a fundamental micronutrient essential for the transport and storage of oxygen.
- It is also involved in a variety of enzymatic processes such as the production of ATP in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Without enough iron, the efficiency of this energy production process is reduced, leading to lower energy levels and feelings of fatigue.
- Iron deficiency in advanced stages can lead to a decrease in hemoglobin and red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the brain and muscles (anemia). Not enough oxygen reaches the tissues, making the body feel weak and tired.
- Muscles need sufficient oxygen and energy to function properly, especially during physical activity. If iron levels are low, even if anemia isn't present, the muscles may not be able to operate at full capacity, leading to feelings of weakness or exhaustion during physical exertion.
- Iron is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which play important roles in regulating mood, energy levels, and cognitive function. A deficiency in iron can affect the production of these neurotransmitters, potentially leading to fatigue, low mood, and difficulty concentrating.
Vitamin D
About vitamin D
- Vitamin D is the umbrella term for a group of fat-soluble vitamins involved in bone metabolism, a variety of other metabolic processes, the function of the immune system, as well as the production of proteins and regulation of genes
How it can cause ongoing tiredness
- Vitamin D is essential for muscle strength and function. It helps in the absorption of calcium, which is necessary for muscle contractions. When vitamin D levels are low, muscles may become weaker, which can lead to fatigue and a lack of energy, especially during physical activities.
- It helps regulate the function of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. Inadequate vitamin D may impair mitochondrial function, leading to reduced energy production at the cellular level, which can cause general fatigue and sluggishness.
- Vitamin D is involved in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which affect mood, cognitive function, and energy levels. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to mood disorders, such as depression, which often includes symptoms like fatigue and low energy.
- Vitamin D also plays a role in regulating sleep patterns. Poor sleep quality or disrupted sleep can result in feeling tired, lethargic, or fatigued during the day.
- Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system. A deficiency may lead to immune dysfunction, making the body more prone to infections. Chronic infections or inflammation can result in feelings of fatigue, as the body uses extra energy to fight off illnesses.
TSH
About TSH
- key parameter to assess how well the thyroid functions
- issues with thyroid functions can cause tiredness in different ways
How it can cause tiredness
- thyroid hormones 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
Creatinin
About Creatinin
- indicator to assess muscle health and kidney function
How it can cause tiredness
- 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
About ALT
- enzyme which is measured to check liver health
How it can cause tiredness
- 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
About CRP
- so-callsed "non-spedific parameter " for measuring activity of the immune system
- can for example be used to detect infections
How it can cause tiredness
- 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

What our customers have to say
Great team and excellent service. The blood test was delivered the next day. If you follow the instructions, it works perfectly. The results, along with the doctor's report, were available just one day later—fantastic!
Vincent
The analysis service from Health Yourself is absolutely top-notch! This is how modern medicine should be: straightforward, efficient, affordable.
Pascal
I had been postponing a check-up because getting an appointment outside of regular office hours was basically impossible. This way I just used my lunch break to do my test. Results were in on the next day already. Will keep doing this once a year.
