A 10-parameter kidney and urinary tract function panel available at 390 Kč through cz.unilabs.online, collected at any of 136 Czech collection points. Kidney disease is described by Unilabs as 'the most treacherous disease' because it produces no symptoms until function is significantly compromised. This panel screens for the key blood markers of glomerular filtration rate and tubular function — creatinine, urea, uric acid, key electrolytes, and phosphate — in a single venous blood draw. An optional morning urine sample extends the assessment. Rated 4.92/5 from 285 reviews.
The Vyšetření ledvin a močových cest panel addresses a documented gap in preventive healthcare: chronic kidney disease affects approximately 10% of the adult population globally, but the majority of cases are clinically silent until GFR has fallen to around 30% of normal. Annual kidney function screening is therefore one of the highest-value preventive interventions available — and at 390 Kč, among the most affordable structured blood tests in the Unilabs catalogue. The ten blood parameters assess both the filtration function of the glomeruli and the metabolic consequences of reduced kidney function. Creatinine is the primary marker — it accumulates when filtration is impaired. Urea is the nitrogen-waste product of protein metabolism, similarly filtered by the kidneys. The creatinine-to-urea ratio helps distinguish between kidney disease and dehydration. Uric acid is another metabolite excreted by the kidneys; elevated levels cause gout but also correlate independently with reduced GFR. The electrolyte panel — sodium, potassium, chlorides, and phosphate — reveals the kidney's regulatory function. Patients are encouraged to bring a morning urine sample (first void of the day). Chemical urinalysis with sediment can detect proteinuria, haematuria, and bacterial indicators that complement the blood panel. Booking follows the standard online flow: order at cz.unilabs.online, choose a Prague collection point, attend for a 10-minute blood draw, receive results within 2 business days.

Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
6A waste product from normal muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Blood creatinine levels reflect kidney filtration capacity. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function, dehydration, or excessive muscle breakdown.
A mineral essential for bone formation, energy metabolism (ATP), and acid-base balance. Phosphate levels are inversely related to calcium and regulated by parathyroid hormone and vitamin D.
A critical electrolyte for heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and nerve function. Both high and low potassium can cause dangerous cardiac arrhythmias. Levels are influenced by kidney function, medications, and diet.
The primary electrolyte regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. Sodium is essential for nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Abnormal levels can cause confusion, seizures, and cardiac arrhythmias.
A waste product from protein breakdown, processed by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Elevated urea levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, high-protein diet, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
A waste product from the breakdown of purines (found in certain foods and body cells). High levels can form crystals in joints (gout) or kidneys (kidney stones). Also associated with cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
390 Kč per panel. Covers 10 blood parameters. Optional morning urine sample recommended for more complete assessment. Results within 2 business days.
