What's included
5 deliverables in this treatment
- RBC, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW (red cell indices)
- Five-part white cell differential — neutrophils (segments + bands), lymphocytes (including reactive forms), eosinophils, basophils, monocytes
- Platelet count (PLT) and mean platelet volume (MPV)
- Mindray BC-6200 automated analysis with manual smear review for flagged samples
- Printed and electronic results same working day
A full blood count with five-part white cell differential, analysed on the Mindray BC-6200 haematology platform at PKBH's Olomouc central laboratory. The CBC measures red cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and platelet indices; the differential distinguishes neutrophils (including band forms), lymphocytes (and reactive variants), eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and flags any abnormal or pathological cells for manual smear review. At 154 Kč all-in, this is one of the most accessible haematological screens available in the Czech Republic without a referral.
About this treatment
A full blood count (FBC or CBC) is the single most informative routine blood test available, analysing three independent blood-cell lineages that collectively reflect bone marrow function, immune status, oxygen-carrying capacity, and clotting ability. With the addition of a five-part white cell differential, it becomes a sensitive screen for infection, allergy, autoimmunity, haematological malignancy, and nutritional deficiencies — all from a single EDTA…
Red cell parameters measured
- RBC (red blood cell count) and Haemoglobin (HGB) — quantify the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Anaemia (low HGB) can result from iron deficiency, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, haemolysis, chronic disease, or bone marrow suppression.
- Haematocrit (HCT) — the proportion of blood volume occupied by red cells; elevated values suggest polycythaemia or dehydration.
- MCV (mean corpuscular volume) — the average red cell size. Microcytic cells (low MCV) point to iron deficiency or thalassaemia; macrocytic cells (high MCV) suggest B12/folate deficiency or alcohol excess.
- MCH and MCHC — haemoglobin content and concentration per cell; useful in differentiating iron deficiency from haemoglobin synthesis disorders.

Panel categories
Biomarkers tested
9The percentage of your blood volume occupied by red blood cells. It reflects the balance between red blood cell production and loss, helping diagnose anemia, dehydration, and polycythemia.
The iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout your body and returning carbon dioxide to the lungs. Low haemoglobin is the primary marker for anemia and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
The average size of your red blood cells. Small cells (microcytic) suggest iron deficiency, while large cells (macrocytic) may indicate vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Normal-sized cells with low count suggest chronic disease.
The percentage of white blood cells that are monocytes. Monocytes are part of the innate immune system and develop into macrophages and dendritic cells in tissues.
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
Measures the number of platelets, small cell fragments essential for blood clotting. Low platelets increase bleeding risk, while high platelets may increase clot risk. Important for monitoring clotting disorders and medication effects.
Measures the number of red blood cells in your blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, dehydration, or bone marrow disorders.
Measures the total number of white blood cells, your body's primary defense against infection. Elevated levels may indicate infection, inflammation, or immune disorders, while low levels can signal bone marrow problems or autoimmune conditions.
