Comprehensive Health Checkup — Full Blood Screen

The comprehensive health checkup at Laboratoře Mikrochem combines over 45 blood and urine markers into a single fasting visit, covering every major metabolic system: haematology (CBC with differential), cardiovascular risk (full lipid profile), metabolic health (glucose, HbA1c, liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes, uric acid), thyroid function (TSH, fT4), systemic inflammation (CRP), iron status (ferritin, iron), and vitamin D — with urinalysis included. All analyses are performed under ISO 15189 accreditation at the main Olomouc laboratory, with results in 2–3 working days. No physician referral is required; walk-in blood draws are available from 07:00 Monday to Friday at all five Mikrochem sites across the Olomouc Region. At approximately 3,500 Kč total, the panel offers hospital-grade diagnostic breadth at a self-payer price that is a fraction of private clinic packages in Prague or abroad.

A comprehensive annual blood screen is the most effective tool for detecting the conditions most likely to affect long-term health before symptoms appear — dyslipidaemia, pre-diabetes, early thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and inflammatory states are all detectable years before they cause clinical disease. Laboratoře Mikrochem's comprehensive health checkup packages these investigations into a single fasting visit, processed in the ISO 15189-accredited main Olomouc laboratory by specialists across haematology, clinical biochemistry, immunology, and endocrinology divisions. The haematology component (CBC with 5-part differential) screens for anaemia, infection, haematological disorders, and platelet abnormalities. The full lipid profile — total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, non-HDL-C, and TC/HDL ratio — maps cardiovascular risk against European Society of Cardiology thresholds. The metabolic biochemistry panel assesses glucose and HbA1c (diabetes status), liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin — for fatty liver, hepatitis, and medication effects), kidney function (urea, creatinine, eGFR — for chronic kidney disease staging), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium — critical for patients on diuretics or ACE inhibitors), and uric acid (gout and metabolic syndrome risk). The thyroid screen — TSH and free T4 — detects both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, which together affect approximately 10% of the adult Czech population and are frequently missed in routine care. CRP (C-reactive protein), measured by highly sensitive nephelometry in the immunology division, is a marker for both acute systemic inflammation and, at lower chronically elevated levels, low-grade inflammatory states associated with cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome. Ferritin and serum iron quantify iron stores — iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, frequently presenting as fatigue without overt anaemia. Vitamin D (25-OH vitamin D) deficiency is endemic in Central Europe (estimated 50–70% of the adult population outside summer months) and is associated with immune dysfunction, bone loss, and mood disturbances. Urinalysis by dipstick (with microscopy if the dipstick flags an abnormality) detects glucose, protein, blood, nitrites, and leukocytes in urine — a simple screen for early diabetes, kidney disease, urinary tract infection, and bladder pathology. All analytical platforms at Mikrochem operate under ISO 15189 accreditation (ČIA certificate 373/2025) with daily internal quality controls and SEKK external quality assessment participation across all five diagnostic divisions. Results are released by authorised laboratory specialists and presented in a comprehensive printed report with full reference ranges and flagged abnormals. Self-paying patients need no physician referral. Phlebotomy is available as a walk-in service from 07:00 Monday to Friday at the main Olomouc laboratory (Nezvalova 984/2) and from 06:30 at the Janského Street collection point — the two most convenient sites in Olomouc city. Regional patients can use the Přerov, Šumperk, or Valašské Meziříčí branches, all of which send samples to the main Olomouc laboratory for processing.
