Metabolic Panel (Electrolytes & Kidney)

A self-pay metabolic panel at the Zlín poliklinika collection point. The 'Metabolický soubor' measures electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride), glucose, kidney markers (urea, creatinine) and albumin for a baseline check of fluid balance and kidney function. A broader 13-analyte admission panel is available. No referral required; payment at the draw.

A basic metabolic panel gives a snapshot of fluid and electrolyte balance, blood sugar and kidney function. Vaše laboratoře offers it as the self-pay 'Metabolický soubor', with a broader admission panel as a step up. **Metabolický soubor (139 Kč, the default):** - Sodium, potassium and chloride — the main electrolytes governing fluid balance, nerve and muscle function. - Glucose — blood sugar. - Urea and creatinine — waste products filtered by the kidneys; useful indicators of kidney function, which declines silently with age and some medications. - Albumin — the main blood protein, relevant to nutrition and kidney/liver function. **Přijímací soubor (admission panel, 304 Kč):** a 13-analyte panel that adds total and direct bilirubin, ALT, GGT and ALP liver enzymes, amylase (AMS) and cholesterol for a broader baseline in a single draw. **How it works:** Attend the Zlín poliklinika collection point during morning collection hours. Fasting is advised for accurate glucose. A laboratory nurse takes a venous sample and payment is made at the draw; results return through the laboratory's standard channels. **Who it suits:** A general health baseline, people on medications that affect the kidneys or electrolytes, and anyone wanting a broad check at low cost.
