Blood count across 18 parameters, plus biochemistry

Before a naftalan course or a wellness programme begins, blood and biochemistry work matters for assessing the body's general condition. A full blood count across eighteen parameters, together with biochemistry, gives a broad picture of what is happening in the body.

How the test is taken and when the results are ready

The sample is taken on the day of arrival or the following morning, on an empty stomach. Once the results are ready the physician weighs them together with the findings of the examination and builds the treatment course on that basis. Bringing any medication you take regularly, and any medical records you already hold, makes the assessment more precise.

Why testing matters before a course begins

A naftalan bath and the heat procedures put a load on the body, so before a course begins it is worth knowing whether the body is ready for it. That is what the picture from the tests is for:

The picture the tests give

• An assessment of the body's general condition
• Detection of a hidden inflammatory process
• Conditions that restrict certain procedures coming to light
• A course built on an individual basis
• Treatment carried out more safely and under better control
• A repeat test to compare the result of the course

Coming on an empty stomach, and other conditions

Come to the test on an empty stomach — about eight hours should have passed since your last meal; water is allowed. If you take medication regularly, discuss it with the physician beforehand. This test is the first step of a naftalan course: baths and heat procedures are not prescribed without the results.

Blood tests in Naftalan — Sun City Hotel & Spa

Blood is taken in the treatment wing, inside the hotel's own building — the guest goes nowhere else. When the results are ready the physician goes through them with you and finalises the daily schedule of procedures at that same meeting.
