Základní prevence — Basic Prevention Screen

Affordable entry-level health screening available at SYNLAB Brno covering blood count, fasting glucose, liver enzymes, cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, and urinalysis. At 229 CZK (~9 EUR), this panel costs a fraction of what Austrian or German labs charge for equivalent testing — and Brno is just 1.5 hours from Vienna by train.

The Základní prevence package is SYNLAB's most accessible screening panel, available at the same national e-shop price at the Brno Titanium collection point as at any other SYNLAB location in the Czech Republic. For visitors from neighbouring Austria or Germany, Brno offers a compelling combination: identical laboratory quality at dramatically lower prices, in a city where hotels, meals, and transport cost roughly half what they do in Prague. The complete blood count with five-part differential delivers a broad haematological overview — red blood cell count, haemoglobin, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, white blood cell count with differential, and platelet count. This single analysis screens for anaemia, active infection, and haematological abnormalities. Iron-deficiency anaemia is particularly common in women of reproductive age across Central Europe, and the CBC is the first-line detection tool. Fasting plasma glucose screens for diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose. The World Health Organization sets the diagnostic threshold at 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL), with values between 5.6 and 6.9 mmol/L indicating a pre-diabetic state where lifestyle changes can delay or prevent disease progression. Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) detect hepatocellular injury and biliary dysfunction. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease affects roughly a quarter of European adults, making mild ALT elevation one of the most frequent incidental laboratory findings. Total cholesterol and triglycerides provide baseline cardiovascular risk data. Creatinine with estimated glomerular filtration rate evaluates kidney function. The urinalysis component (chemical analysis plus sediment) adds metabolic and renal screening — detecting proteinuria, glycosuria, and urinary tract infections — without requiring an additional appointment. At 229 CZK (approximately 9 EUR), this package costs less than a single CBC at most Austrian private laboratories. A comparable basic screening in Vienna typically runs 60-100 EUR. Blood draw and serum separation fees are included. Results arrive within two business days via secure email with SMS-delivered PIN code.
