Panels are grouped analyzes for monitoring the general condition of the organism or guidelines for a doctor to make a right diagnosis.
By choosing the appropriate panel, the TOTAL PRICE OF THE ANALYSIS INCLUDED is more favorable!
Anemia is a condition in which there is a deficiency of red cells or of hemoglobin in the blood, which is in charge of binding oxygen to itself, which it then transports to all tissues and organs, with the aim of their smooth functioning. Disorders can be acute or chronic and can have different origins.
The most common cause of anemia is a lack of Iron, which can be the result of poor nutrition, disorders in the digestive tract, blood loss during menstruation or long-term bleeding from the nose or hemorrhoids, after surgical interventions or some chronic diseases.
The most common symptoms of anemia are: fatigue, dizziness, weakness, headache, pale skin, nausea, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, cold hands and feet, etc.
The analyzes included in this panel give a good insight into the state of the red blood cell lineage.
The optimal time to repeat this analysis is 3 months, which represents the time for which all red blood cells are replaced by the new ones.
By comparing the results of the analyzes from this panel obtained in the space of 3 months, a change in the condition can be reliably determined.
The panel includes the following analyses: blood count, CRP, iron, TIBC, UIBC, transferrin saturation and ferritin.
Preparation for analysis:
Blood sampling is recommended in the morning from 7-9am. 24 hours before sampling, avoid intense physical activity. It is necessary to pass 12 hours since the last meal. 1 hour before sampling without a cigarette. A few days before the sampling, you should not take regular therapy with drugs or supplements for the treatment of anemia.Expect results within 24 hours.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system does not function well and mistakenly attacks its own organism, as if it were foreign. In such a state, antibodies are created against one's own cells.
The trend of autoimmune diseases is constantly increasing, and the diagnosis itself is not simple.
The most common causes are: stress, viral and bacterial infections, drugs, heavy metals, but also genetic predisposition (hereditary factors).
The symptoms are various, but the most common are: malaise, fatigue, pain in muscles and joints, skin rash, change in skin color, etc.
For diseases of the autoimmune system, the most important thing is to detect them as soon as possible, in order to put them under control and prevent further progression.
With us, you can check the status of your autoimmune system through a panel of 7 analyses, expertly and carefully selected by experienced doctors.
We recommend the autoimmune panel especially to those who have had Covid!
Preparation for analysis: Take blood at any time during the day.
Expect results within 48 hours.
Menopause is a physiological state that occurs after the end of the reproductive period of every woman's life.
Menopause occurs after the period of perimenopause (a period of gradual loss of menstruation and decline in estrogen production), and after menopause comes post-menopause (a period in which a woman has been without menstruation for more than 12 consecutive months).
Often this change is accompanied by the appearance of harmless but very unpleasant complaints such as: sudden sweating, night sweats, depression, mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, dry skin, etc.
For all these reasons, many women turn to doctors for help. We believe that it is then useful to have the results of the analysis of the "Menopause" panel, which will enable the doctor to monitor changes in hormonal status and define the risk of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, which women are particularly exposed to in post-menopause.
The panel includes the following analyses: FSH, LH, Estradiol, Vit. D, Folate and Homocysteine.
Preparation for analysis: A few days before giving blood for analysis, reduce the intake of food of animal origin.
Expect results within 24 hours.
If you have a genetic predisposition to developing diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, If you lead a fast and unhealthy life, with excessive commitment to work, with daily exposure to great stress, if you skip meals, often eat in fast food restaurants, etc.All these, represent triggers for the appearance of the most serious diseases and make our road to health longer and longer.
For this reason, WE RECOMMEND A METABOLIC PANEL - once a year, as a check of metabolic health parameters.
The panel consists of 9 carefully selected analyses, selected by a team of experienced doctors in order to quickly and accurately assess your metabolic status.
Preparation for analysis:
Blood sampling is recommended in the morning from 7-9am. 24 hours before sampling, avoid intense physical activity. It is necessary to pass 12 hours since the last meal. 1 hour before sampling without a cigarette. On the day of blood sampling, regular drug or supplement therapy should be taken after blood collection.Expect results within 24 hours.
Osteoporosis is a process that affects the bone system, usually around the age of fifty. The degree of expression depends on many internal and external factors, and the symptoms are mild and difficult to recognize except in the case of bone fractures, when they are observed on an X-ray. By then, osteoporosis is usually already advanced.
Factors that can contribute to the development of osteoporosis are: estrogen deficiency during perimenopause and menopause, calcium deficiency, insufficient physical activity, low vitamin D levels, long-term use of corticosteroids.
Therapy to slow the progression of osteoporosis is more effective when it is started as early as possible.
The key tool for establishing a diagnosis is the analyzes from this panel in combination with other specific diagnostic procedures.
Ignoring osteoporosis opens up space for severe bone injuries that can occur spontaneously. In old people, such conditions can be fatal.
The panel consists of the following analyses: vitamin D, calcium, inorganic phosphate, PTH, beta cross laps, osteocalcin.
Preparation for analysis: Taking vitamin D and calcium should be stopped a few days before giving blood for analysis.
Expect results within 24 hours.
The thyroid gland plays an important role in our body, because with its hormones it affects: growth, development, metabolism, heartbeat, sexual function, pregnancy maintenance, blood glucose level, body temperature, as well as Ca metabolism.
Analyzes from this panel show well the condition of this complex system and help to recognize mild disorders that give non-specific symptoms. More severe, late-recognized disorders of the functioning of the thyroid gland are most clearly observed in disorders of the heart.
Therefore, periodic control of thyroid gland function can contribute to maintaining health or reducing the consequences of changes to a minimum.
The panel includes the following analyses: TSH, FT4, anti Tg antibodies and anti TPO antibodies.
Analyzes of autoantibodies are significant in assessing the existence of an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland, which can be the main cause of thyroid gland dysfunction.

Telomeres - Estimate biological age by measuring telomere length.
Oxidative stress - a recommendation for everyone who wants to know the chemical "identity card" of the organism.
Glutation - powerful weapon in the fight for longevity.
Chitotriosidase - faster and cheaper to reliable results.
Inside all cells, there are protective caps called Telomeres at the ends of DNA. They shorten with age as they perform their function, i.e. while providing protection to genes and preventing cells from multiplying after they become old.
Longer telomeres indicate a better status of a person in terms of biological age, that is, such persons are biologically younger, more vital, regardless of their nominal age.
Short telomeres have been called the "new cholesterol" because decades of clinical research have shown that no matter how old you are, telomere length indicates your risk of heart disease and longevity in general.
The clinical significance of the telomere, in addition to the premature aging syndrome and diseases associated with it, is observed in the pathology of cancer, as well as in genetic anomalies. Recent studies have shown the prognostic significance of this biomarker as a biomarker of premature cell aging in vascular and metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as arthritis and osteoporosis.
Telomere length is influenced by both genetic factors and environmental factors. Inflammation, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and excessive alcohol use contribute to telomere shortening.
The results of many studies confirm that oxidative stress (increased levels of pro-oxidants or impaired antioxidant protection mechanisms) also leads to a decrease in telomere length and thus leads to premature aging. Therefore, telomere length is a promising genetic marker for chronic oxidative stress.
Quality sleep, moderate physical activity, healthy diet (Mediterranean diet), appropriate supplementation, as well as psychosocial well-being lengthen telomeres, while insufficient number of hours of sleep, stress, smoking, lack of physical activity, caloric and fatty foods, too much sugar, shorten telomeres.
In order to know what your actual state of health is, as well as whether there are risks for the development of chronic diseases, as well as whether your supplementation is appropriate, we advise you to do an analysis to assess oxidative stress and telomere length. Based on them, long before any health problem manifests, it is possible to act and prevent the disease.
After receiving the results of the analyzes performed, personalized supplementation will be advised, and after 3 months the results will be repeated, in order to evaluate the effect of the therapy.
Patient preparation: no special preparation.
Time to get results: up to 30 days
Nowadays, maintaining health is a big challenge for every person. On the one hand, a large number of chemical compounds (food additives, pesticides, heavy metals, microplastics, etc.) in various ways lead to a weakening of immunity, and on the other hand, there is our great desire to apply everything that can contribute to restoring the balance of the organism. The essence of the problem lies in the fact that every organism is different, and living and working conditions are external factors that significantly contribute to and direct the organism's detoxification pathways.
In addition to this, various internal factors, such as: infections, inflammation, immunodeficiency, stress, aging, etc., have a significant negative impact on the development of oxidative stress and biological aging.
An imbalance between the capacity of antioxidant protection and the amount of free radicals created is the basis of the initial damage to healthy cells and the DNA chain in them, which further progression of the process leads to mitochondrial damage. The result of this process is the aging of the organism, the development of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and many other chronic diseases. Today it is known that the described process of damage to cells by free radicals is reversible to such an extent that cells can be rejuvenated in 10-15 years. Thus, the probability of chronic diseases related to aging can be reduced.
To assess the possible lack of antioxidant protection, to assess your redox status, condition and disease progression, it is useful to do an oxidative stress panel. The obtained results are the basis for designing the content and dosage of the three-month preventive therapy with supplements.
The analysis includes the determination of 6 parameters, which give a clear picture of your:
Total antioxidant capacity Total Oxidative Potential Pro-oxidative - antioxidant balance Quantities of superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione in erythrocytes.The results of the same analysis, after three months, will indicate the effect of the therapy, the possible need to correct the therapy and recommendations for changing lifestyle habits. The above results can be used for very early detection of the onset of the disease or for evaluating the effect of therapy.
Patient preparation: Blood sampling is recommended in the morning, after 12 hours of fasting.
Time to get results: up to 10 days.
Many scientists believe that a person lives as long as the organism is able to maintain the presence of glutathione in itself.
It is an important antioxidant, which neutralizes free radicals that are the cause of various diseases, gives us energy, better concentration and helps us react better to stress.
It rarely happens that glutathione deficiency is of a genetic nature, but it is important to know that its production in the body begins to decline from the age of 20, especially under various influences brought about by a modern lifestyle. A reduced level of glutathione in the body increases the risk of developing many diseases such as: diabetes, Parkinson's disease, hepatitis and various other infections.
Before applying any form of supplementation, we advise you to determine its concentration, so that your doctor can recommend adequate compensation, if necessary.
Preparation for analysis: 12 hours should pass since the last meal.
Results issuing: up to 10 days.
Chitotriosidase is an enzyme produced by activated macrophages and as such is a marker for inducing an immune response against various pathogens. The role of Chitotriosidase in modern laboratory diagnostics is very important, considering that it is considered the most specific biomarker of sarcoidosis, based on the activity of which the diagnosis is made along with the clinical picture and the effectiveness of the therapy is monitored. Chitotriosidase is used as a biomarker of disease severity, to differentiate disease activity and predict deterioration. In addition to sarcoidosis, chitotriosidase is used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, asthma, interstitial lung disease, chronic obstructive disease, infections and other lung diseases.
Chitotriosidase is the most important marker of a group of rare diseases (lysosomal diseases), primarily Gaucher disease, in which, in addition to establishing a diagnosis, it is used to monitor the clinical picture and dose therapy. It is also determined in other rare metabolic diseases: Niemann-Pick disease, Fabry disease, Krabbe disease.
Increased chitotriosidase activity has also been found in various neurological diseases: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral adrenal leukodystrophy, cerebrovascular dementia and others. The enzyme is a significant marker of macrophage activity in atherosclerotic plaque and is related to the width and size of atherosclerotic lesions, and is used in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (ischemic heart disease, coronary artery disease and strokes).
Chitotriosidase activity increases in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus, where it is a marker of accelerated atherosclerosis and correlates with the progression of nephropathy and retinopathy.
Considering that chitotriosidase is a marker of inflammatory response, it is of great importance in the diagnosis of infectious and parasitic diseases, especially candidiasis, malaria, leishmaniosis, toxoplasmosis, leprosy, brucellosis and others.
Significantly increased chitotriosidase activity also occurs in polycystic ovary syndrome (a state of low-grade chronic inflammation), where macrophage activity is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and other metabolic disorders. Increased activity was also observed in endometriosis and preeclampsia.
In addition to the above, chitotriosidase is determined in the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver, ß-thalassemia, HBV and HCV hepatitis, various cancers and a large number of autoimmune diseases (SLE, Chron's disease, psoriasis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and others).
It is determined in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
Preparation: fasting for 12 hours.
Time of issue of results: 48h.
