A full blood panel is a set of standard laboratory tests — blood count, metabolic panel, liver and kidney function, lipids, thyroid and inflammatory markers — drawn once and used to give your imaging results clinical context. It is included in every Meridiko program tier.
A single blood draw covers the full panel.
A laboratory test, not imaging.
Hanaro's Basic program, men's price. Liver, kidney, lipids, diabetes, anaemia, thyroid, uric acid and hepatitis serology, plus urinalysis.
KMI Global's Standard. No partner centre publishes a blood panel as a standalone product; it is the floor of every program rather than an option on top of one.
One week is the earliest an imaging slot can be held, and there is no referral step before it.
English report in your hands in about a week. You also get a consultation on preliminary findings on the day of the screening, before you leave.
Programme contents and prices from each partner centre's own foreigner-facing published list, read 2026-08-05: KMI Global and Hanaro Medical Foundation's English site. Standalone per-test prices are a Korean partner centre's 비급여 (non-covered) posting, the itemised list 의료법 제45조 requires a clinic to publish, read the same day. Scheduling and report turnaround are Meridiko's own operating figures, confirmed 2026-08-06, not a centre's published ones (https://global.kmi.or.kr/examination/foreigner_examination; https://en-mobile.hanaromf.com/program/prog01/prog01_01.jsp), measured 2026-08-05. Dollar figures are converted from each centre's won price at ₩1,342 = $1 (open.er-api.com, 2026-09-13). The won figure is the price; the pairing moves with the rate.
Anaemia, diabetes and pre-diabetes markers, liver and kidney function, cholesterol and lipid levels, thyroid function, and general inflammatory markers: the standard baseline most primary-care physicals include.
A blood panel does not find structural disease. A normal panel alongside an abnormal scan is common, and the two are read together, not as a substitute for each other.
Suits: Everyone. This is the standard baseline included in every program tier, not an optional add-on.
Should not have it: There is no group for whom a standard blood panel is inappropriate; specific markers may be added or removed based on your history, discussed with your coordinator before the visit.
Where a tumor marker panel targets specific cancer-associated proteins, the full blood panel covers general organ function and metabolic health. The two are complementary and both included in the comprehensive program.
Included in every Meridiko tier, starting at Essential. This is the one test on this page that is never an upgrade. See /pricing/ for the full tier ladder.
