Tiredness and Fatigue (TATT) Blood Test
Find the root cause of ongoing tiredness with our TATT blood test. Designed for anyone struggling with low energy, it identifies key imbalances to guide effective treatment.
What is a Tiredness and Fatigue (TATT) Blood Test?
A TATT blood test is designed to investigate the underlying causes of persistent low energy. By analysing key biomarkers such as thyroid function, iron levels, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, it helps identify whether deficiencies or imbalances are contributing to your symptoms. This simple test provides doctors with crucial insight into your overall health, enabling them to uncover possible reasons for fatigue and recommend personalised treatment or lifestyle adjustments to restore your energy and wellbeing.
Who Should Take a TATT Blood Test?
A TATT blood test is an important way to understand why you may be feeling constantly low in energy. By checking key hormones and nutrients, it helps identify whether your fatigue is linked to a medical condition, nutritional deficiency, or lifestyle factor. This gives doctors the clarity needed to recommend the right treatment or preventative care.
You may benefit from a TATT blood test if you are:
- People with ongoing fatigue: For those who feel exhausted despite getting enough rest.
- Those experiencing low mood or concentration: Fatigue can affect focus, productivity, and emotional wellbeing.
- Women with heavy periods: Tests for iron deficiency, which is a common cause of tiredness.
- Individuals with thyroid concerns: Thyroid imbalances are a frequent cause of unexplained fatigue.
- Those with unexplained health changes: Identifies whether nutrient deficiencies or metabolic issues may be contributing to symptoms.

What Biomarkers Are Measured for a TATT Blood Test?
A TATT (Tiredness and Fatigue) blood test measures key hormones and nutrients that play an important role in energy levels and overall wellbeing. This information is vital for creating a clear plan to restore energy and improve quality of life.
Key biomarkers include:
- Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3, T4): Assess thyroid function, a common cause of tiredness and low energy.
- Ferritin (Iron Storage): Low levels may indicate iron deficiency anaemia, often leading to fatigue.
- Vitamin B12 and Folate: Essential for red blood cell production and energy metabolism.
- Vitamin D: Deficiency can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, and low mood.
- Glucose and HbA1c: Reveal blood sugar imbalances that may contribute to persistent tiredness.
- Liver and Kidney Function Markers: Check for metabolic or organ issues that can affect energy levels.
- Female Hormones (Oestrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, FSH, LH): Imbalances can cause fatigue, mood changes, sleep disruption, or symptoms associated with perimenopause, menopause, or menstrual cycles.
- Zinc and Magnesium (optional/additional): Support energy metabolism and overall wellbeing.
Understanding Your TATT Blood Test Results
Your results compare hormone and nutrient levels with expected healthy ranges. These insights show whether your tiredness is linked to deficiencies, hormonal imbalance, or another underlying health concern.
- Low Ferritin: Suggests iron deficiency anaemia, a common cause of ongoing fatigue.
- Abnormal Thyroid Hormones: Indicate underactive or overactive thyroid function, both linked to tiredness.
- Low Vitamin B12 or Folate: Can reduce red blood cell production and cause weakness.
- Low Vitamin D: May contribute to low mood, fatigue, and muscle weakness.
- Abnormal Glucose or HbA1c: Point to blood sugar imbalances that drain energy.
- Female Hormone Imbalances: Low oestrogen, progesterone, or other hormone disruptions can explain fatigue, sleep issues, or energy changes related to menstrual cycles, perimenopause, or menopause.
