Chronic Fatigue Profile
Also known as: Chronic Fatigue Test, Long COVID, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), Post-COVID 19 Fatigue Evaluation
Use
This profile is used for the assessment of patients with chronic fatigue (including post-COVID-19 fatigue).
Special Instructions
The test is comprehensive and encompasses several important blood tests to provide a holistic view of the patient's health status. It is important to ensure that the serum is separated from cells within the recommended time to maintain the integrity of the specimen.
Limitations
This profile should not be used as the sole criterion for CFS diagnosis. Results must be interpreted alongside clinical findings and patient history. Variability in clinical conditions and interference from external factors can affect the outcome. False positives/negatives may occur, necessitating further confirmatory testing.
