Analiza

Poliklinika Analiza is a diagnostic polyclinic and medical laboratory in Zagreb with an established focus on laboratory medicine. Operating since 2001, Analiza provides routine and specialized testing across clinical biochemistry, hematology, immunochemistry, serology, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, selected genetic tests, and targeted laboratory panels. Patients can access its services at two Zagreb locations, in Vukovarska and Petrova streets.

Analiza is part of the ZagrebMed network and is a practical choice for patients who want to organize laboratory testing through one coordinated pathway. The service can begin with a specific test requested by a physician, a preventive health panel, an investigation connected with symptoms, or laboratory monitoring of an existing condition. Instead of navigating a large test catalog alone, patients can send ZagrebMed their goal, previous reports, and physician's recommendation. ZagrebMed can then help identify the relevant service and coordinate the next step with Analiza.

A broad laboratory offer for different
health priorities

Analiza provides both individual laboratory tests and organized panels that combine related parameters around a defined patient need. For patients who want a basic overview of important health indicators, the General Preventive Laboratory Panel offers a structured starting point. Broader preventive panels are available for patients who want a more detailed review or testing adapted to age, sex, previous findings, or personal risk factors.

Laboratory testing can also be selected around a more specific goal. The Cardiovascular Health Laboratory Panel provides a more focused assessment of selected lipid and cardiovascular markers. The Iron Status Panel combines several parameters used when evaluating iron stores, possible iron deficiency, and changes connected with anemia.

For physically active patients and people who want to understand factors affecting energy, recovery, nutrition, and performance, the Fitness Plus Laboratory Panel brings together a wider selection of blood and urine tests. Analiza also offers panels focused on energy balance, weight management, burnout-related concerns, liver health, digestion, blood glucose regulation, and lipid status.

Hormones, metabolism, fertility,
and age-specific testing

Hormonal and metabolic testing is an important part of the Analiza laboratory offer. The Comprehensive Thyroid Panel combines several thyroid hormones and antibodies for patients who need a broader thyroid laboratory assessment. More targeted thyroid and metabolic panels are also available when a smaller group of tests better matches the clinical question.

Women's laboratory pathways cover hormonal status, polycystic ovary syndrome, contraception, acne, hair loss, perimenopause, menopause, and fertility. The Female Fertility Assessment Panel is designed for a specific reproductive health pathway and may require coordination with the menstrual cycle.

For men, available testing includes testosterone and broader hormone panels, erectile function-related laboratory assessment, sexual health testing, and prostate-related markers. The Prostate Health Panel can be included in a wider medical assessment when prostate-related laboratory testing is appropriate.

These panels make it easier to organize several related measurements at the same time. The most suitable combination still depends on the patient's age, symptoms, medication, previous results, and physician's recommendation. ZagrebMed can help clarify whether a targeted panel or an individual test is the more appropriate option before testing is arranged.

Allergy, infection, microbiology,
and molecular diagnostics

Analiza provides allergological testing ranging from total and allergen-specific IgE to broader allergen panels. The ALERGO295 Allergy Blood Test offers extensive blood-based allergen testing from a small blood sample. Testing for food intolerance is a separate laboratory pathway and should not be treated as equivalent to medical diagnosis of a food allergy.

Testing for infectious diseases includes serological, antigen, microbiological, and PCR-based molecular methods. The Rapid Respiratory Infection Panel provides one defined pathway for respiratory infection testing. Other available analyses cover mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis markers, sexually transmitted infections, and selected bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic causes.

The wider laboratory scope also includes microbiological testing of urine, stool, and swabs, analysis of intestinal health, GastroPanel testing, selected molecular diagnostics, genetic testing, and analysis of the intestinal microbiome. This breadth allows testing to be organized around a specific patient question rather than limited to a standard blood draw.

Preoperative testing, pregnancy,
pediatrics, vitamins, and tumor markers

Patients preparing for a medical or surgical procedure can arrange the Preoperative Laboratory Panel. The exact tests required before a procedure depend on the surgeon, anesthesiologist, type of procedure, medical history, and existing results. Patients should therefore send the complete medical recommendation when requesting preoperative testing.

Analiza also provides pediatric laboratory panels, pregnancy-related testing, vitamin measurements, and tumor marker panels for women and men. Tumor markers are used only within an appropriate medical context. They do not independently confirm or exclude cancer and should not be selected as a general replacement for physician-led screening or diagnostic evaluation.

How testing is organized through
ZagrebMed

A ZagrebMed inquiry can begin with the exact name of a test or panel, but patients do not need to know the complete laboratory terminology before contacting ZagrebMed. The most useful information includes:

• the reason for testing or the main health goal
• the name of the requested test or panel, if known
• a physician's recommendation or referral
• previous laboratory reports and relevant medical findings
• current medication and supplements when relevant
• the preferred Zagreb location and approximate date

ZagrebMed can use this information to verify the corresponding Analiza service, clarify the required preparation, identify the sample type, and coordinate the selected Zagreb location. This provides one point of contact for the patient without requiring direct communication with the laboratory.

Sampling and preparation

Depending on the selected service, testing may require venous blood, urine, stool, a swab, or another specified sample. Some laboratory panels are completed through one blood collection, while other pathways combine blood with urine or stool testing.

Preparation differs between tests. It may include fasting, morning sampling, collection on a particular menstrual-cycle day, instructions for collecting urine or stool, or documentation of current medication. Patients should not assume that every laboratory test requires the same preparation. Prescribed medication should not be stopped or changed unless the treating physician has provided specific instructions.

When ZagrebMed coordinates the service, the relevant preparation requirements can be checked before arrival. This is especially useful for hormonal panels, glucose and insulin testing, lipid measurements, preoperative testing, and analyses that require a sample to be collected at home and brought to the laboratory.

Two locations in Zagreb

Analiza Zagreb Vukovarska
Ulica grada Vukovara 284, Almeria center, 10000 Zagreb
Monday to Friday: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturday: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Analiza Zagreb Petrova
Petrova ulica 47, 10000 Zagreb
Monday to Friday: 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Patients can state their preferred location in the ZagrebMed inquiry. The appropriate location and sampling schedule can then be coordinated according to the selected test and preparation requirements.

An established focus on
laboratory diagnostics

Analiza has developed its laboratory services since 2001. Its professional structure includes specialists in medical biochemistry, physicians, molecular biologists, laboratory professionals, nurses, and collaborators from medicine, pharmacy, and biotechnology. Selected specialized testing is organized in cooperation with external laboratories when required.

The range of routine and specialized testing makes Analiza suitable for patients who want to combine preventive assessment, targeted testing, follow-up, and more complex laboratory pathways within one diagnostic institution.

To arrange testing at Analiza, send ZagrebMed the name of the desired test or panel, your physician's recommendation if available, previous results, the reason for testing, and your preferred Zagreb location or date. ZagrebMed will help verify the appropriate service and coordinate the next step.
