Eight-marker entry-level health screen covering haematology, inflammation, glucose metabolism, liver and kidney function, and thyroid status. At 129 PLN (~30 EUR) with blood draw included — a 45% saving versus ordering the same tests individually (236 PLN). An efficient starting point for visitors passing through Krakow who want a quick health baseline.
The minimum package groups the eight most informative single biomarkers into a cost-effective screening panel. The complete blood count (morfologia) generates over 15 parameters from a single tube — red cell indices for anaemia classification, white cell differential for infection and immune assessment, and platelet count for bleeding or clotting risk. Fasting glucose identifies diabetes and pre-diabetes. A result above 7.0 mmol/L is diagnostic; values of 5.6-6.9 mmol/L indicate impaired fasting glucose, a reversible metabolic state where dietary changes and exercise can prevent progression. Creatinine with estimated glomerular filtration rate evaluates kidney function — chronic kidney disease affects roughly one in ten European adults over 65 but is frequently asymptomatic in early stages. ALT screens for liver damage. As the most hepatocyte-specific transaminase, even mild elevation suggests hepatocellular injury — most commonly from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is estimated to affect a quarter of the European adult population. CRP quantifies systemic inflammation, a marker increasingly recognised as an independent cardiovascular risk predictor when measured with high-sensitivity assays. TSH detects thyroid dysfunction at its earliest biochemical stage. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism affect 5-10% of the general population, with subclinical forms being substantially more common. ESR provides complementary inflammation data particularly useful for screening connective tissue diseases. Total cholesterol rounds out the cardiovascular assessment. At Diagnostyka's Krakow headquarters location on pl. Szczepański, blood collection is available until 17:30 on weekdays — substantially later than typical lab hours across Poland. The extended schedule means visitors can walk through the Old Town in the morning and have blood drawn in the afternoon. Results are available online within 24 hours, with AI-powered interpretation included at no extra charge.
