Basic laboratory test package for children

When is it worth doing?

This package is recommended for preschool and school-age children, both as part of regular check-ups and when certain symptoms appear. Consider these tests if your child shows:

• chronic fatigue, pale skin, low appetite,
• difficulty concentrating, frequent infections,
• delayed growth or signs of nutritional deficiencies,
• recurrent illnesses or suspected anemia,
• a diet low in meat or essential nutrients.

The package is also useful before medical procedures, vaccinations, or lifestyle changes (e.g. switching to a vegetarian diet).

What does the package include?

The package consists of 7 laboratory tests that provide a comprehensive overview of your child’s core health functions:

• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) – an enzyme related to bone metabolism, useful for monitoring growth and bone development.
• Total calcium (Ca) – essential for nerve transmission, muscle function, and healthy bones and teeth.
• Iron (Fe) – necessary for producing hemoglobin; low levels may indicate anemia or weakened immunity.
• Complete blood count (CBC 5 diff) – detailed assessment of red and white blood cells and platelets, reflecting immune and hematological status.
• Inorganic phosphate (P) – works with calcium to support bone growth and structure.
• Vitamin D3 (25-OH) – regulates calcium and phosphate absorption; important for immunity and bone strength.
• CRP (C-reactive protein) – an inflammation marker that helps detect bacterial infections or inflammatory processes.

This package allows early detection of nutritional deficiencies, immune disorders, and developmental irregularities.

What is the procedure like?

The tests are performed using a blood sample, usually drawn from the child’s arm. The process is quick and child-friendly:

• The collection takes only a few minutes.
• Synevo staff use pediatric-friendly techniques and thin needles for maximum comfort.
• Colorful accessories and supportive caregivers help reduce stress during the visit.

The tests are processed using modern diagnostic technologies, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

How to prepare?

To ensure accurate results, please follow these preparation guidelines:

• Your child should be fasting – avoid eating for at least 8 hours before the test. Water is allowed.
• Consult with a doctor about any supplements or medications (especially those containing iron, calcium or vitamin D), as they may affect the results.
• Ensure a calm and relaxed environment – talking to your child and offering support can make a big difference.

Did you know…?

• Iron deficiency is one of the most common causes of anemia in children – and may develop silently over time.
• Up to 90% of children in Central and Eastern Europe may have insufficient vitamin D levels in the autumn and winter months.
• Imbalances in calcium and phosphate can affect not only bones, but also the nervous system and mental focus.

Regular check-ups help catch these issues early and support your child’s healthy development.
