What's included
7 deliverables in this treatment
- Venous blood draw at any Mikrochem collection point (no appointment needed)
- TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) measured by CMIA — the primary screening marker for hypo- and hyperthyroidism
- Free T3 (triiodothyronine) — the active thyroid hormone, CMIA method
- Free T4 (thyroxine) — the main secretory product of the thyroid, CMIA method
- Anti-TPO (thyroid peroxidase antibodies) — marker for Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease
- Anti-TG (thyroglobulin antibodies) — second autoimmune marker, particularly useful after thyroid cancer follow-up
- Printed laboratory report with results and reference ranges
The thyroid function panel at Laboratoře Mikrochem measures five key markers — TSH, free T3, free T4, anti-TPO, and anti-TG — to provide a complete picture of how the thyroid gland is functioning and whether autoimmune thyroid disease is present. All five tests are performed using CMIA (chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay), the same analytical platform used in hospital endocrinology departments, on instruments running daily quality controls under ISO 15189 accreditation. A single venous blood draw covers the entire panel; results are ready within 3 working days. Walk-in blood collection is available from 07:00 Monday to Friday at the main Olomouc laboratory, and from 06:30 at the Janského Street collection point — no physician referral required for self-paying patients.
About this treatment
Thyroid disorders are among the most common endocrine conditions in the Czech Republic, affecting an estimated 8–10% of adults — the majority undiagnosed. Laboratoře Mikrochem offers a complete five-marker thyroid panel using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) technology, a high-sensitivity method with tight analytical performance that is the reference standard for thyroid diagnostics in hospital laboratories across Central Europe.
The panel covers the full diagnostic axis. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is the most sensitive primary screening marker: even small changes in thyroid hormone levels cause a disproportionately large shift in TSH, making it the best single test to detect both hypothyroidism (elevated TSH) and hyperthyroidism (suppressed TSH). Free T4 measures the main thyroid secretion product — not total T4, but the biologically active fraction not bound to transport…
The autoimmune markers complete the picture. Anti-TPO (anti-thyroid peroxidase) antibodies are elevated in 90–95% of patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and in 70–80% of those with Graves' disease — the two most common autoimmune thyroid conditions. Anti-TG (anti-thyroglobulin) antibodies provide a second autoimmune signal, particularly useful for monitoring in patients who have had thyroid cancer or total thyroidectomy, where thyroglobulin itself is…

Who is this for?
Anyone experiencing fatigue, unexplained weight changes, cold or heat intolerance, hair loss, mood disturbances, or irregular menstrual cycles. Particularly important for women over 35, anyone with a family history of thyroid disease, and patients being monitored for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, or thyroid cancer remission.
Preparation required
No fasting required, but a morning blood draw (before 10:00) gives the most stable TSH reading as levels fluctuate slightly through the day. Do not take thyroid medication (levothyroxine) until after the draw if you are already on treatment — discuss timing with your prescribing physician. No appointment needed; walk-in draw from 07:00 at main laboratory or 06:30 at Janského collection point.
