Blood Testing in Szczecin

Full blood count (morfologia) with automated differential. Measures red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, platelets, and white cell differential. The most fundamental screening test in clinical medicine — detects anaemia, infection, inflammation, and blood disorders. At 23 PLN (~€5), this is a fraction of the cost of the same test in Germany or Western Europe.

4th-generation HIV antigen/antibody combination test detecting both HIV 1/2 antibodies and p24 antigen. Reliable from 6 weeks after potential exposure. At 62 PLN (~€14), roughly half the price of equivalent tests in German labs.

Complete lipid profile measuring total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. Essential for cardiovascular risk assessment. At 64 PLN (~€15), significantly cheaper than equivalent panels in Germany where the same profile costs €30–50 through private labs.

Diabetes and metabolic screening with fasting glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and HOMA-IR index. The HOMA-IR calculation quantifies insulin resistance — a precursor to type 2 diabetes that standard glucose-only screening misses. At 79 PLN (~€18) for the HOMA-IR package.

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measurement — the standard marker for vitamin D status. At 94 PLN (~€22), roughly a third of the price charged by German private labs for the same assay. Essential screening for anyone living at northern latitudes.

Comprehensive liver function panel covering ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, and total protein. At 99 PLN (~€23), this provides a thorough hepatic assessment. Individual enzymes available from 22 PLN each for targeted monitoring.

Thyroid function panel including TSH, free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO, anti-TG). A thorough thyroid assessment that covers both hormone levels and autoimmune markers. At 122 PLN (~€28), roughly half the price of an equivalent panel in Berlin.

Kidney function panel with creatinine (including eGFR calculation), urea, uric acid, electrolytes, and urinalysis. At 170 PLN (~€39), a comprehensive renal assessment covering both blood and urine markers.

Cardiac risk and function panel including CK, CK-MB, troponin (TnT HS), NT-proBNP, CRP, lipidogram, and homocysteine. At 256 PLN (~€59), this provides both acute cardiac markers and chronic cardiovascular risk assessment in a single draw.

Combined micronutrient panel covering the vitamins and trace elements most commonly deficient in European diets. Includes vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron, ferritin, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. At 278 PLN (~€64), this comprehensive nutritional screen costs less than a single vitamin D test at many German labs.

Comprehensive men's health panel covering reproductive hormones (testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, estradiol), prostate markers (PSA total + free), thyroid (TSH), CBC, lipids, and inflammatory markers. At 392 PLN (~€90), a thorough screen for hormonal, oncological, and metabolic health.

Comprehensive women's health panel covering reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, DHEA-S), thyroid (TSH, FT3, FT4), tumour markers (CA-125, HE4), CBC, and inflammatory markers. At 459 PLN (~€106), a thorough hormonal and oncological screen.
