Hemoskenování (live blood analysis) at Aura Medical Clinic uses dark-field microscopy to examine a single drop of capillary blood in real time — without fixation, staining, or laboratory processing delays. The physician observes erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets as they move under the microscope, assessing cell morphology, aggregation patterns, and plasma characteristics that can reveal oxidative stress, inflammatory burden, nutritional deficiencies, and immune system activity. The technique is used at the clinic as a rapid diagnostic window into the patient's current health status and as a basis for planning integrative treatment protocols. A follow-up control session 4–8 weeks after starting treatment allows direct comparison of blood cell behaviour to assess treatment response. The examination takes approximately 45 minutes including the physician review and explanation.

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.

A five-marker thyroid panel measuring the pituitary signal (TSH), both active thyroid hormones (Free T3 and Free T4), and the two most clinically significant thyroid antibodies (Anti-TPO and Anti-Tg). Together these markers distinguish between hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's or Graves'). At PKBH Olomouc, immunochemistry assays run on the Abbott Alinity ii and DPC Immulite 2000XPi platforms under SEKK external QC, and walk-in self-pay access means no GP referral is needed to initiate investigation.

A focused cardiovascular prevention blood panel at MEDILA measuring 10 cardiac and metabolic risk markers in a single fasting draw. The panel covers acute cardiac injury (Troponin I), heart failure stress (NT-proBNP), thrombotic activity (D-dimers), primary cardiovascular risk (total cholesterol, LDL), cardiac muscle enzymes (CK, LDH), diabetes monitoring (HbA1c), fasting glucose, and the cardiac stability electrolyte (potassium). This combination is specifically designed to give a multi-angle view of cardiovascular health — identifying both long-term risk factors (elevated LDL, HbA1c, glucose) and acute indicators of cardiac stress (Troponin I, NT-proBNP) in a single panel. Written physician commentary included. Fasting of 8–12 hours required. Results within one week.

PREVEDIG medical offers HIV PCR (polymerase chain reaction) RNA detection — the most sensitive and earliest available test for HIV infection. Unlike standard antibody tests that require 3–6 weeks to become reactive, HIV RNA PCR can detect active virus as early as 10–14 days after exposure, long before the immune system produces detectable antibodies. This is the same technology used in specialised sexual health clinics and in blood bank screening protocols. The test is performed from a venous blood sample at any of PREVEDIG's 18 Prague walk-in collection sites at the fixed self-pay price of 1,690 Kč. No referral, no appointment, and no special preparation is required. Results are delivered digitally within one working day via secure email and SMS verification.

The basic first-trimester combined screening at G-CENTRUM Olomouc combines a blood test and a nuchal translucency ultrasound to calculate each individual woman's risk of fetal chromosomal conditions including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13). The blood draw (measuring PAPP-A and free β-hCG hormones) is taken at 9–10 weeks of pregnancy; the ultrasound measurement of nuchal translucency — the fluid-filled space at the back of the fetal neck — follows at 11–14 weeks. Both results are combined with maternal age and pregnancy data to produce a personalised risk figure.

Cardiovascular risk assessment panels covering the full lipid profile with apolipoproteins, homocysteine, high-sensitivity CRP, glucose, and cardiac-specific markers in a single venous blood draw at any of 136 Czech collection points. BASIC at 1,760 Kč; EXPERT at 2,180 Kč (22 parameters, adds apolipoproteins A1 and B plus homocysteine for advanced risk stratification). No GP referral needed. Cardiovascular disease accounts for 18.6 million deaths globally each year; most risk factors accumulate silently over decades without symptoms. Rated 4.95/5 across 19 reviews.

VIDIA DIAGNOSTIKA's Anemický soubor (Anaemia Panel) combines seven iron and vitamin markers required to identify the cause of anaemia rather than simply confirm it: serum iron, TIBC/UIBC, transferrin, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), ferritin, folic acid and vitamin B12. Together they distinguish iron-deficiency anaemia from B12-deficiency megaloblastic anaemia, folate deficiency, anaemia of chronic disease and functional iron deficiency — conditions that look similar on a standard blood count but require completely different treatment.

Laboratory analysis of skin biopsy for diagnostic purposes.

PREVEDIG medical's Female Hormonal Panel covers the key reproductive and pituitary hormones relevant to female health and fertility: beta-hCG (quantitative pregnancy test), prolactin, FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), Estradiol (E2), progesterone, and AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone). Together, these seven markers provide a complete picture of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and ovarian reserve, making this panel the standard first-line hormonal assessment for women investigating fertility, menstrual irregularity, perimenopause, PCOS, or unexplained symptoms such as mood changes and reduced libido. AMH is particularly valuable as an ovarian reserve marker — it reflects the remaining pool of primordial follicles and declines predictably with age, providing a biological clock estimate independent of cycle phase. All analyses are performed at PREVEDIG's ISO 15189-accredited central laboratory using validated immunoassay platforms.

Immune system assessment including immunoglobulins and complement factors.

A comprehensive sex hormone panel for men (10 parameters, 1,899 Kč) and women (12 parameters, 2,199 Kč), available without a GP referral through cz.unilabs.online and collected at any Unilabs Prague collection point. Hormones regulate body composition, energy, libido, fertility, mood, and metabolic rate — yet hormonal imbalances are often invisible without specific blood testing. The male panel covers the full androgen and gonadotropin axis including total and free testosterone, DHEA-S, LH, FSH, and prolactin. The female panel adds estradiol, progesterone, and additional sex-hormone-binding markers. At 4.89/5 across 47 reviews, this is a consistently well-rated product for patients seeking insight into fatigue, libido changes, weight gain, or fertility concerns.

A nine-marker hormonal panel covering the full female reproductive endocrine axis — pituitary gonadotropins, ovarian hormones, androgens, and adrenal contributors. At PKBH Olomouc, all hormones are measured by immunochemistry on the Abbott Alinity ii or DPC Immulite 2000XPi platforms, both SEKK-accredited. The panel is suitable for investigation of menstrual irregularity, fertility issues, PCOS, perimenopause, or excess androgen symptoms such as acne and hirsutism. No referral is needed for self-pay access.

The extended first-trimester combined screening at G-CENTRUM Olomouc builds on the basic chromosomal risk assessment by adding preeclampsia screening — a critical distinction for women at higher risk of developing this serious blood pressure complication later in pregnancy. In addition to the PAPP-A and free β-hCG blood markers and the nuchal translucency ultrasound, the extended version includes measurement of PlGF (placental growth factor) in the blood, uterine artery Doppler flow measurement by ultrasound, and blood pressure assessment. These additional data points allow calculation of a personalised preeclampsia risk score alongside the chromosomal risk figures.

A multi-marker panel investigating common biochemical causes of persistent fatigue and stress — covering nutritional, metabolic and hormonal markers in one coordinated check. Self-pay, no referral, results delivered electronically.

Comprehensive sexually transmitted disease screening.

Complete blood count, liver function, kidney function, and lipid panel.

PREVEDIG medical's Male Hormonal Panel covers the full androgen and adrenal axis: total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), DHEA-S, DHEA, 17-OH-progesterone, androstenedione, aldosterone, and cortisol. This nine-marker panel provides a comprehensive map of androgenic function, adrenal output, and stress hormone status that no single test can replace. Total and free testosterone together identify low testosterone (hypogonadism) and context — high SHBG can suppress free testosterone even when total testosterone appears adequate. DHEA-S and its precursors assess adrenal androgen reserve, which declines progressively from the mid-20s (adrenopause). Cortisol and aldosterone complete the adrenal picture, identifying dysregulation ranging from Addison's disease to chronic stress-driven cortisol excess. All markers are analysed at the ISO 15189-accredited PREVEDIG central laboratory with morning draw recommended for testosterone accuracy.

A suite of food intolerance blood tests covering lactose intolerance (genetic and/or serology), gluten sensitivity (serology), fructose intolerance (genetic), celiac disease antibodies (anti-TTG IgA), histamine intolerance (DAO enzyme level), and celiac genetic predisposition. Available individually or as bundles through cz.unilabs.online, collected at any Prague Unilabs point. Each test includes specialist physician interpretation from uLékaře.cz in the base price. The 3-in-1 bundle (fructose + lactose + celiac genetic) is available at 3,613 Kč. Rated 4.86/5 from 63 reviews.

A genetic blood test for the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 alleles that determine genetic susceptibility to celiac disease — the most common gastrointestinal autoimmune condition in Europe, affecting approximately 1% of the population but with over 80% of cases estimated to remain undiagnosed. Available at 2,052 Kč including specialist interpretation through cz.unilabs.online and collected at any Prague Unilabs collection point. Unlike the standard serological celiac test (IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase), which only turns positive after gluten exposure has already caused intestinal damage, the genetic test identifies lifelong susceptibility before or without gluten ingestion. Results in 10 business days. Rated 4.86/5 across 63 reviews.
