There is no simple blood test that can confirm 100% that someone has chronic fatigue, but what a doctor can do is rule out all other factors that may be causing the fatigue. 

They would record and monitor how many hours a day a person sleeps, how quickly their muscles become weak after physical excercise, and if there are any other emotional factors that may be contributing to their fatigue. 

The only way to check for it would be through eliminating all other possible causes and then making a well educated guess at the situation.

Usually a Doctor which would most likely be your primary care doctor would order some simple blood work on a patient that is complaining of fatigue.  The blood work would consist of a CMP, CBC, Lipid panel, and a TSH panel.
