Comprehensive Laboratory Health Check

PREVEDIG medical offers one of Prague's most extensive walk-in laboratory health assessments, combining biochemistry, lipid metabolism, thyroid function, haematology, diabetes markers, kidney function, liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, Vitamin D, and select hormonal panels into a single blood draw visit. The laboratory's 30+ year accredited track record, robotic workstation processing, and 18 walk-in locations across Prague make it an accessible foundation for a comprehensive annual health screening without requiring a GP referral or specialist appointment. Results spanning 60+ biomarkers across major physiological systems are available digitally the following working day. Self-pay patients choose and pay for panels individually from the PREVEDIG price list; the combination of biochemistry, lipid, thyroid, anaemia, and diabetes panels constitutes one of the most thorough blood-based health screenings available in Central Europe on a walk-in basis.

A comprehensive laboratory health check at PREVEDIG medical uses the laboratory's broad test menu — spanning over 500 analytes across biochemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology, endocrinology, and molecular biology — to build a detailed metabolic and physiological baseline from a single blood draw session. **What a comprehensive PREVEDIG health check typically covers:** **Metabolic and organ function:** The core biochemistry panel covers kidney function (urea, creatinine, uric acid), liver function (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, cholinesterase), pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase), electrolytes and minerals (Na, K, Cl, Ca, Mg, P), muscle and cardiac markers (CK, LDH), acute-phase protein (CRP), and homocysteine. **Cardiovascular lipids:** Full lipid panel including triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, plus Apolipoprotein A1, Apolipoprotein B, and Lipoprotein(a) — three markers increasingly central to European cardiovascular risk guidelines that many Czech labs do not include routinely. **Thyroid function:** TSH, free T4, free T3, and thyroid autoantibodies (Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg, TRAK) for a complete thyroid status including autoimmune drivers. **Diabetes and glucose metabolism:** HbA1c (both IFCC and NGSP units), fasting glucose, fasting insulin, C-peptide — enabling HOMA-IR insulin resistance calculation in addition to standard diabetes screening. **Haematology / anaemia screen:** Iron, ferritin, transferrin, transferrin saturation, Vitamin B12, folate — covering the complete iron and B-vitamin anaemia axis. **Bone metabolism and Vitamin D:** 25-OH Vitamin D, PTH, osteocalcin, bone ALP, β-CTX, P1NP — a complete bone metabolism profile applicable to osteoporosis risk assessment. **Additional panels:** Hormonal panels (female or male), tumour markers, immunology, allergy screening, and molecular biology tests (HIV PCR, HPV PCR) are available as add-ons, all processable from the same collection visit. **How to book and access:** No appointment is needed for standard blood draws. Walk in to any of PREVEDIG's 18 collection sites across Prague and its surroundings, register as a self-pay patient (samoplátce), and select the panels you wish to include. The patient helpdesk (+420 270 005 895, Mon–Fri 7:00–16:00) can advise on which panel combinations are most appropriate for a given health goal. **PREVEDIG's differentiating factors for a comprehensive health check:** - ISO 15189:2023 accreditation — international quality assurance across all 500+ analytes - Robotic workstations — uniform, reproducible processing without manual pipetting variability - 18 collection sites across Prague — accessible from all city districts and nearby municipalities - Same working-day processing and next-day digital result delivery - Contracted with all Czech health insurers — insured patients with appropriate referrals pay nothing - Established 1993 — 30+ years of continuous operation and clinical data management **Preparation for a comprehensive check:** Fast for 10–12 hours (covering lipids, glucose, HbA1c, iron, β-CTX). Morning draw recommended (before 10:00) to capture testosterone and cortisol in their diurnal peak. Drink 250 ml of water on the morning of the draw. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours. Take regular medications as normal.
