3 deliverables in this treatment
- Choice of bedside test: CRP, blood glucose, INR, urinalysis, resting ECG or faecal occult-blood screen
- The test run in-clinic with a result during the visit
- Interpretation of the result and advice from the GP
These are bedside (point-of-care) tests run and interpreted in the consulting room, giving you a result and a doctor's explanation in a single short visit rather than waiting for an external lab. Medicas Brno offers a CRP test to gauge inflammation or infection, a finger-prick blood-glucose check, an INR test for people on blood-thinning medication, a simple urinalysis, a resting ECG, and a faecal occult-blood screen used to look for hidden bleeding in the bowel. Each is available to self-payers at a fixed price, with a lower rate for patients registered with the practice. They are useful when you want a quick, specific answer — for example to check whether an illness is bacterial, to monitor anticoagulation, or to screen for bowel-cancer risk.

For the faecal occult-blood test the practice provides a sampling kit and instructions to collect the sample at home and bring it in. The urinalysis is most reliable from a clean midstream sample. The ECG simply requires a few minutes lying still while small electrodes…
These tests suit people who want a fast, specific answer without the turnaround of an external laboratory: someone unwell who wants to know whether an infection is bacterial, a patient on anticoagulation due for an INR check, anyone monitoring blood sugar, or an adult wanting to take part in bowel-cancer screening. Because the results are available immediately, the GP can explain what they mean, put them in the context of your symptoms, and advise on any…
