Blood Testing in Hradec Králové

A walk-in venous blood collection service at AXIS-CZ's phlebotomy station in the basement of Poliklinika III, Hradec Králové. Open from 05:30 Monday to Friday without an appointment, the collection station serves self-pay patients and those with physician referrals across the full range of biochemistry and haematology tests listed in the laboratory's published price list. The blood draw fee (59 Kč for adults, 107 Kč for children under ten) is charged separately from the cost of individual tests requested. Venepuncture is performed by trained phlebotomy staff; capillary collection is also available at 50 Kč. Patients fast overnight and arrive at the centre's earliest opening for glucose, lipid, or hormone panels requiring fasting samples. Results for most standard assays are available the same or following day, with email or postal delivery available for an additional 50 Kč.

A full blood count with five-part white cell differential at AXIS-CZ's NASKL-accredited laboratory in Hradec Králové. The CBC measures red cell count, haemoglobin, haematocrit, and MCV/MCH/MCHC indices; the differential classifies white cells into neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils as both absolute counts and percentages. Together these measurements provide the foundational haematology screen used to investigate anaemia, infection, inflammatory states, and haematological disorders. Walk-in collection is available from 05:30 Monday to Friday; no appointment is needed. The basic CBC (krevní obraz) is 37 Kč; adding the differential costs 84 Kč total. A reticulocyte count to assess bone marrow red cell production can be added for 122 Kč. Results are typically available on the same day. The blood draw fee of 59 Kč for adults is charged in addition to the panel price.

A fasting lipid profile measuring total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides at AXIS-CZ's accredited biochemistry laboratory in Hradec Králové. These four markers form the standard cardiovascular risk lipid screen used by GPs and cardiologists to assess atherosclerotic risk and guide treatment decisions. AXIS-CZ publishes individual test prices, allowing patients to build a panel from the core four (212 Kč) up to an extended panel with Apolipoprotein A1, Apolipoprotein B, and Lp(a) for comprehensive lipoprotein assessment. A fasting period of 8–12 hours is required for accurate LDL and triglyceride measurement; the clinic's 05:30 collection start makes pre-work fasting draws straightforward. No appointment is needed.

A diabetes and metabolic assessment panel at AXIS-CZ's NASKL-accredited biochemistry laboratory in Hradec Králové, anchored by HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin), fasting glucose, homocysteine, and C-peptide measurements. HbA1c provides a three-month average of blood glucose levels — making it the standard tool for both diabetes diagnosis and ongoing management. Fasting glucose captures the immediate metabolic state. Homocysteine is an independent cardiovascular and metabolic risk marker elevated in B-vitamin deficiency, renal impairment, and insulin resistance. C-peptide distinguishes between insulin deficiency (low C-peptide) and insulin resistance (high C-peptide), informing the classification of diabetes type. The OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) is also available at 392 Kč all-inclusive — the primary test for gestational diabetes (weeks 24–28 of pregnancy) and pre-diabetes confirmation.

An iron status panel measuring ferritin, serum iron, and transferrin at AXIS-CZ's biochemistry laboratory in Hradec Králové, with the option to add soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) for a comprehensive assessment of iron stores across all conditions including inflammation. Ferritin is the primary iron storage marker and the most sensitive early indicator of iron depletion; serum iron reflects circulating iron availability; transferrin is the main iron-transport protein, elevated in deficiency and reduced in inflammation. The sTfR marker — at 387 Kč — provides an assessment of iron deficiency that is independent of the acute-phase response, making it the preferred marker for identifying true iron depletion in patients with chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or malignancy where ferritin is elevated as an acute-phase reactant rather than reflecting genuine iron sufficiency. Walk-in collection runs from 05:30 Monday to Friday.

A thyroid hormone panel starting from the TSH + fT4 screening pair (349 Kč) at AXIS-CZ's NASKL-accredited laboratory in Hradec Králové. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is the primary screening marker for thyroid dysfunction; fT4 (free thyroxine) is the main circulating thyroid hormone and the key diagnostic pair alongside TSH. AXIS-CZ runs a seasonal World Thyroid Day promotion offering these two markers at 349 Kč — reduced from the combined individual price of around 505 Kč. The extended panel of eight individual markers covers fT3, total T3, total T4, Anti-TPO, Anti-TG, TRAK, and thyroglobulin for comprehensive autoimmune and functional assessment. No fasting is required. Collection runs from 05:30 Monday to Friday without an appointment, and results are typically available the same or next working day.

Live capillary blood analysis at FOXYLIFE examines a single drop of blood taken by finger-prick under a modern 4K HDR microscope at 1,200× magnification, displayed in real time on large 4K monitors so clients can see their own blood cells while the session unfolds. The hour-long session covers red blood cell shape, aggregation and clumping patterns, white blood cell activity, platelet appearance, and the presence of pathological elements such as bacteria, fungal spores, parasitic structures, crystals, and excess fibrin. FOXYLIFE explicitly states this is not medical diagnosis — the service is offered as experimental observation by a natural health practitioner, not a physician. It is best approached as a wellness curiosity and conversation-starter about internal environment, rather than a substitute for laboratory blood testing.
