Women-specific health screening with 14 biomarkers covering haematology, thyroid function (TSH + fT4), iron status with ferritin, full lipid panel, liver enzymes, inflammation, and vitamin D3. At 319 PLN (~74 EUR) with blood draw included. Addresses the health domains where women face elevated risk — thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, and metabolic health.
This panel is designed around the clinical priorities of women's health, available across Diagnostyka's Tricity collection network including the Jana Pawła II point in Gdańsk. Thyroid dysfunction is 5-8 times more prevalent in women than men, with Hashimoto thyroiditis affecting up to 10% of women over 40. The dual thyroid markers (TSH + fT4) provide both screening sensitivity and functional assessment — TSH identifies the dysfunction, fT4 quantifies its severity and distinguishes overt from subclinical disease. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, and women of reproductive age bear a disproportionate burden due to menstrual blood loss. This panel includes both serum iron and ferritin — the gold-standard marker of iron stores. Ferritin below 30 ng/mL identifies iron depletion before haemoglobin drops, enabling early intervention. The complete blood count detects overt anaemia (haemoglobin below 12 g/dL in women) and classifies it by morphology via MCV. The full lipidogram (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides) enables cardiovascular risk assessment. While cardiovascular disease is often perceived as a male condition, it remains the leading cause of death in European women — particularly post-menopause when the protective effect of oestrogen declines. Women tend to present with atypical symptoms, making biochemical risk stratification especially valuable. Liver enzymes (AST, ALT) screen for hepatocellular damage. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease affects an estimated 25% of European adults and is increasingly recognised in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic syndrome. CRP and ESR provide complementary inflammation measures. Vitamin D3 (25-hydroxyvitamin D) assessment is particularly relevant for women given the higher osteoporosis risk. Adequate vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone mineralisation. Gdańsk sits at 54.4 degrees N latitude — among the northernmost major cities in the EU — where winter vitamin D synthesis is negligible for roughly five months. Supplementation is necessary for the majority of women living at or visiting this latitude. Fasting glucose screens for type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes risk factors. Pre-diabetes is common and often asymptomatic, making routine biochemical screening the primary detection method. At 319 PLN with blood draw included, this panel provides comprehensive women's health coverage at a fraction of Scandinavian or German private lab pricing (typically 400-700 EUR for equivalent testing). Women travelling from Stockholm or Malmö can reach Gdańsk via a short budget flight or the overnight ferry.
