Změřte si cholesterol — Lipid Panel

Full lipid profile measuring total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides at the SYNLAB Brno Titanium collection point. Critical for cardiovascular risk stratification using the European SCORE2 model. At 169 CZK (~7 EUR), this four-marker panel is a fraction of the 40-60 EUR charged by private labs across the Austrian border.

The lipid panel delivers the four essential measurements used for cardiovascular risk assessment under current European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Total cholesterol provides the headline number, but clinical decisions depend on the component breakdown. LDL cholesterol is the primary atherogenic lipoprotein targeted by statin therapy — ESC guidelines recommend levels below 2.6 mmol/L for moderate-risk patients and below 1.4 mmol/L for very-high-risk individuals. HDL cholesterol represents the fraction being transported back to the liver for excretion and is inversely associated with cardiovascular events. Triglycerides reflect both dietary patterns and metabolic health. Elevated fasting triglycerides are a defining component of metabolic syndrome and serve as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The triglyceride-to-HDL ratio has emerged as a practical surrogate marker for insulin resistance in clinical practice. The total cholesterol-to-HDL ratio and non-HDL cholesterol (total minus HDL) are increasingly favoured as predictive markers over any single lipid value. When these four measurements are combined with age, sex, smoking status, and systolic blood pressure in the SCORE2 risk calculator, they enable a quantitative estimate of 10-year fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular event risk. Fasting for 10-12 hours before the draw is necessary for accurate triglyceride measurement and reliable calculated LDL values via the Friedewald equation. Water and unsweetened tea are permitted during the fast. The Brno Titanium location opens at 06:00 on weekdays, making early-morning fasting appointments straightforward. At 169 CZK, this panel represents exceptional value for visitors from Austria, where private lipid panels typically cost 40-60 EUR. Brno is reachable from Vienna in under two hours, and the city's lower cost of living makes it a practical base for combining routine health checks with a short Moravian getaway. Blood draw and serum separation are included in the price. Results are available within two business days.
