In February 2026, Na Františku Hospital is joining the “Dry February” awareness initiative, which encourages people to take a month-long break from alcohol and adopt a healthier lifestyle. As part of this preventive campaign, the hospital is offering a comprehensive liver screening focused on the early detection of liver fibrosis. The laboratory test is now available at a discounted price of 248 CZK.
An early checkup can help prevent problems
The goal of the event is to raise public awareness about prevention and make it easy for people to find out the condition of their liver. The screening involves a blood draw and laboratory analysis, which includes basic liver function tests, a complete blood count, and a preliminary calculation of the FIB-4 index, which helps assess the risk of liver fibrosis. If deviations from reference values are detected, a specialist evaluation by a gastroenterologist follows, who may also refer the patient for an ultrasound examination.
How the examination is conducted
Those interested can get tested at the testing site at the Palackého Polyclinic in Prague 1. Walk-ins are welcome on weekdays between 6:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Patients will typically receive their lab test results by email within two business days.
If the results show values outside the normal range, the laboratory will recommend a referral to a gastroenterology clinic, where a doctor will suggest the next steps, which may include an abdominal ultrasound and a comprehensive evaluation of your health.
Special price throughout February
The regular price for this lab test is 355 CZK. In February 2026, Na Františku Hospital is offering the test at a 30% discount for 248 CZK.
The hospital also reminds us that Dry February is not just about temporarily cutting back on alcohol. Liver health is also supported by a balanced diet, regular exercise, staying well-hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding tobacco products.
Prevention can be a simple step that makes a huge difference to your future health. The February campaign gives people the chance to do something extra for their liver—quickly, easily, and without putting it off.
