Blood Testing in Prague

A 9-parameter liver function blood panel available at 390 Kč through cz.unilabs.online, covering the standard hepatic enzyme and metabolite profile in a single venous blood draw at any of 136 Czech collection points. The liver processes every substance absorbed from the gut and is the primary site of detoxification, protein synthesis, bile production, and glycogen storage. The panel screens for cell damage (ALT, AST, GGT), cholestatic disease (ALP, bilirubin), and synthetic function (albumin). Results within 4 business days. Rated 4.93/5.

A blood test for hepatitis A (HAV IgG) antibodies — confirming whether a patient has protective immunity to hepatitis A through prior infection or vaccination. Available at 395 Kč without a prescription, collected at any Prague Unilabs collection point. Hepatitis A is a liver-transmitted viral illness spread primarily through contaminated food and water; it is endemic in many travel destinations across Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and parts of Eastern Europe. The test is relevant for travellers preparing for high-risk destinations who want to confirm whether their previous vaccination or natural exposure has produced lasting immunity, and for healthcare and food service workers subject to occupational immunity checks. Results in 4 business days. Rated 4.89/5 from 73 reviews.

A blood test for hepatitis A (total anti-HAV) antibodies plus liver function markers (ALT, AST) — confirming whether a patient has protective immunity to hepatitis A virus, and simultaneously assessing current hepatic status. Available at 395 Kč without a prescription, collected at any of 136 Czech collection points. Hepatitis A is endemic in many travel destinations across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A positive result means existing immunity and no vaccine needed; a negative result indicates susceptibility. Relevant for travellers, healthcare and food service workers, and anyone wanting to confirm vaccine effectiveness. Results in 4 business days. Rated 4.89/5 from 73 reviews.

General fitness and wellness panel combining blood count, metabolic markers, and organ function tests for a quick health snapshot. At 415 CZK (~17 EUR), an accessible mid-range option for regular health monitoring.

A tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) antibody test at MEDILA measuring serum TBE IgG antibody levels to confirm the degree of immune protection following TBE vaccination. The Czech Republic has one of the highest rates of TBE in Europe — the virus is carried by Ixodes ricinus ticks common in forests and meadows throughout the country, and is the most significant tick-borne viral disease in Central Europe after Lyme disease. TBE vaccination is recommended for residents and travellers with outdoor exposure in endemic areas, but vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time and varies between individuals. This test is recommended 3–5 years after vaccination to determine whether a booster dose is needed, using the IgG titre to assess current protection levels. Written physician commentary explaining the result is included. No fasting required. Morning collection at any MEDILA collection centre.

Cholesterol profile including total, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.

2-hour oral glucose tolerance test for diabetes screening.

Complete lipid profile including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides.

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurement assessing total vitamin D status from dietary intake and sun exposure. At 470 CZK (~19 EUR), this is the standard screening test for vitamin D deficiency — essential at Central European latitudes where UV-B exposure is insufficient for cutaneous synthesis for half the year.

25-hydroxyvitamin D measurement to assess vitamin D status.

25-OH Vitamin D blood level measurement to assess deficiency or sufficiency.

A combined liver and kidney function panel at MEDILA measuring renal clearance markers (creatinine, urea, uric acid), key electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chlorides, calcium, phosphorus), and urinalysis with sediment. Together these markers assess kidney filtration capacity, electrolyte balance, and urinary tract health in a single morning draw. Creatinine is the primary kidney biomarker for estimating GFR (glomerular filtration rate); urea reflects protein metabolism and kidney excretion; uric acid is the gout marker and an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The electrolyte panel adds cardiac and neuromuscular stability markers. Urinalysis with sediment detects protein, glucose, blood, and cellular casts in the urine — providing early warning signs of kidney inflammation, infection, and diabetic nephropathy. Written physician commentary included. Results within one week.

A five-marker liver function panel at MEDILA measuring ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, and total bilirubin — the standard clinical suite for assessing hepatocellular injury, cholestasis, and bilirubin metabolism. Each enzyme has a distinct profile of elevation that helps localise the type of liver or biliary dysfunction: ALT and AST are the primary hepatocellular injury markers, elevated in hepatitis, fatty liver, and drug toxicity; ALP and GGT together indicate biliary and cholestatic disease; bilirubin reflects liver conjugation capacity and red cell turnover. This panel is appropriate for anyone monitoring liver health in the context of alcohol use, medication effects, metabolic syndrome, or fatty liver disease, as well as for people who notice jaundice or fatigue. Written physician commentary is included. Fasting of approximately 10 hours recommended; morning collection at any MEDILA collection centre without a physician referral.

A focused vitamin D status test measuring total hydroxyvitamin D alongside calcium and inorganic phosphorus at MEDILA's ISO-accredited laboratory. Known in the Moje MEDILA catalogue as the "Hormon mládí" (Youth Hormone) panel, it reflects the widespread understanding that vitamin D functions as a hormone — regulating calcium metabolism, immune function, musculoskeletal health, mood, and metabolic processes across the body. Vitamin D insufficiency affects a significant proportion of the Central European population, particularly in the autumn and winter months when UV-B exposure is minimal. The calcium and phosphorus measurements contextualise the vitamin D result by assessing the downstream bone mineral balance markers that vitamin D regulates. Written physician commentary is included with results, delivered within one week. Preparation: fast approximately 10 hours, morning collection.

A targeted gout and uric acid screening panel at MEDILA measuring serum uric acid, CRP (C-reactive protein), and urinalysis with sediment. Elevated uric acid (hyperuricaemia) is the biochemical precondition for gout — the painful inflammatory arthritis caused by monosodium urate crystal deposition in joints, most commonly the big toe, ankle, and knee. CRP confirms whether active inflammatory arthritis is present alongside the hyperuricaemia, distinguishing gout from asymptomatic hyperuricaemia. Urinalysis detects urate crystals in urine and screens for kidney complications (uric acid kidney stones), which affect approximately 15–20% of patients with gout. The panel is appropriate for first-time gout diagnosis, monitoring in patients on urate-lowering therapy, and screening in men over 40 with a high-purine diet, alcohol consumption, or metabolic syndrome. Written physician commentary is included.

Athletic performance panel combining blood count, metabolic markers, iron status, vitamin D, thyroid TSH, and magnesium. Identifies the nutritional deficiencies and metabolic issues that most commonly limit training capacity. At 557 CZK (~22 EUR), a focused sports screen at a fraction of specialist clinic pricing.

HIV antibody and antigen screening test.

Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides.

Hepatitis C antibody screening. 3,000 CZK deposit for confirmation if reactive.

Targeted health screening panel designed for women over 30 years old.

25-hydroxy vitamin D blood level.

An Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) blood test that measures a woman's remaining ovarian reserve — the number of viable eggs available in the ovaries. Available at 710 Kč via cz.unilabs.online, collected at any Prague Unilabs collection point, with results within 2–4 business days. AMH is produced directly by growing ovarian follicles and is the most accurate single blood marker for ovarian reserve: higher levels indicate more follicles remaining, while declining AMH signals diminishing egg count as natural fertility decreases with age. The test can be taken at any point in the menstrual cycle. Normal AMH varies significantly with age: 2–2.5 ng/mL is the reference midpoint; healthy women under 30 typically fall in the 1.2–9 ng/mL range; over 30, the reference range is 0.4–6.5 ng/mL. Very high values may indicate polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Rated 4.85/5 from 171 reviews.
