Blood Screening — Longevity Panel

WE CARE Liberec's custom longevity blood screening goes far beyond a standard health check panel. Assembled by the clinic's medical team — including haematologist MUDr. Daša Rezková — the panel spans nine domains: extended complete blood count with differential, coagulation markers, glucose and insulin resistance indicators, a full lipid spectrum, liver and kidney function tests, systemic inflammation markers (CRP, interleukins), hormonal profiling, vitamins and minerals, iron metabolism, and oncological risk markers. This is a tailored rather than fixed panel, allowing the doctor to prioritise domains based on your health history and goals. Results are interpreted through a functional medicine lens, identifying patterns that standard reference ranges might miss.

The Blood Screening Longevity Panel at WE CARE Liberec is the clinic's flagship diagnostic offering for clients who want a comprehensive, evidence-based picture of their biological age and systemic health. It is not a fixed list of tests but a consultative, bespoke assembly designed by the medical team for each individual, with haematologist MUDr. Daša Rezková available for specialist interpretation where haematological markers require deeper analysis. The panel is organised across nine functional domains: **1. Extended CBC (Complete Blood Count):** White and red cell counts with differential, platelets, haemoglobin, haematocrit, and cellular morphology indicators that reveal immune status, anaemia type, and early haematological abnormalities. **2. Coagulation profile:** PT/INR, aPTT, fibrinogen — relevant for cardiovascular risk, inflammatory burden, and clotting tendency. **3. Glucose and insulin metabolism:** Fasting glucose, HbA1c (3-month average), fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR calculation — providing a complete picture of insulin sensitivity and early metabolic dysfunction that standard glucose testing alone misses. **4. Full lipid spectrum:** Total cholesterol, LDL (with sub-fraction data where available), HDL, triglycerides, Lp(a), ApoB/ApoA ratio — the most predictive cardiovascular risk markers per current cardiology guidelines. **5. Liver and kidney function:** ALT, AST, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, albumin; creatinine, urea, eGFR, uric acid — organ function panels that are often altered years before clinical disease emerges. **6. Systemic inflammation:** High-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), homocysteine, and inflammatory cytokine markers — key longevity markers associated with accelerated biological ageing and chronic disease risk. **7. Hormonal profile:** Thyroid axis (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, anti-TPO antibodies), sex hormones (testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, DHEA-S), cortisol, and growth factor markers as appropriate — hormonal balance is a central pillar of the functional medicine approach at this clinic. **8. Vitamins and minerals:** Vitamin D3 (25-OH), B12, folate, ferritin, magnesium, zinc, selenium — deficiencies in these are prevalent and underdiagnosed, with direct effects on energy, cognition, immunity, and longevity biomarkers. **9. Iron metabolism:** Serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation — detailed iron profiling beyond haemoglobin, important for fatigue, athletic performance, and identifying early iron overload or deficiency. **10. Oncological risk markers (selected):** Tumour markers such as CEA, CA-125, PSA, or AFP as clinically appropriate — the clinic includes a screening tier for clients with family history or elevated risk. Results are reviewed in a follow-up consultation with a doctor who applies functional medicine reference ranges — often narrower than conventional laboratory reference ranges — to identify sub-optimal patterns before they become clinical problems. A personalised intervention plan covering diet, supplementation, lifestyle, and (where indicated) therapeutic referrals within the WE CARE team is provided.
