What's included
8 deliverables in this treatment
- Glucose (fasting blood sugar)
- HbA1c by HPLC on Tosoh G8 (3-month average glucose)
- C-peptide (insulin production proxy)
- Creatinine and creatinine clearance (kidney filtration)
- Urea (second kidney marker)
- ALT, AST, ALP (liver enzyme triad)
- Total bilirubin and albumin (liver synthetic function)
- Printed and electronic results same working day
A nine-biomarker metabolic snapshot assessing blood glucose regulation, insulin production, kidney function, and liver health in a single fasting draw. At PKBH Olomouc, HbA1c is quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography on the Tosoh G8 analyser — the gold-standard method used in clinical trials — giving a precise three-month average blood glucose that point-of-care glucometers cannot replicate. C-peptide (a proxy for endogenous insulin production) distinguishes insulin resistance from deficiency. Walk-in, no referral needed, results by end of day.
About this treatment
Metabolic dysfunction typically develops silently for a decade before a diabetes diagnosis, and even modest early intervention during the pre-diabetic phase dramatically reduces lifetime risk. This panel combines glucose-regulation, renal, and hepatic markers into a single morning visit — giving a complete picture of metabolic health that general practice bloods often omit.
Biomarkers included: - Glucose — fasting blood sugar; the primary screening value for pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. - HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) — reflects average blood glucose over the prior 8–12 weeks. At PKBH, HbA1c is run on the Tosoh G8 HPLC analyser, the same platform used in the landmark DCCT and UKPDS diabetes trials. This method is certified by NGSP and IFCC, ensuring comparability with international reference ranges. - C-peptide —…
All biochemistry markers run on the automated Mindray BS-800 M2 at the central Olomouc laboratory. The Tosoh G8 HPLC is dedicated to HbA1c, ensuring it is not affected by haemoglobin variants that can produce falsely low or high readings on immunoassay-based methods.

Biomarkers tested
7A byproduct of insulin production, released in equal amounts to insulin. C-peptide measures how much insulin your pancreas is producing, helping distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.
A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps to control blood glucose levels and plays a role in controlling the levels of carbohydrates and fats stored in the body.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months by measuring the percentage of hemoglobin with attached glucose. HbA1c is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, unaffected by daily fluctuations.
Calculated score assessing insulin resistance based on fasting glucose and insulin levels.
The hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar. Elevated fasting insulin — even with normal glucose — is an early marker of insulin resistance, which precedes type 2 diabetes by years. Key biomarker in longevity medicine.
