The Unexplained Fatigue Panel analyzes conditions and symptoms associated with chronic fatigue. These include:
- Persistent fatigue
- Weakness
- Lack of energy, which can be linked to metabolic and endocrine disorders
The panel also evaluates autoimmune conditions that may present with symptoms such as:
- Joint pain
- Muscle pain
- General fatigue, including autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and other conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis
By detecting antinuclear antibodies and thyroid-specific antibodies (TPO and anti-thyroglobulin), this panel helps to identify underlying autoimmune disorders and thyroid dysfunction that may contribute to unexplained fatigue.
