Package: Comprehensive Health Checkup for Men. Tests: 97 parameters, 20 components. Price: From 2500. Fasting: 10 hours. Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Free across Delhi. Lab: NABL-accredited. Honestly: this is the Advanced Full Body Checkup for Men plus exactly three tests — Amylase - Serum, Lipase- Serum and CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker, all three pancreatic. The other 94 parameters are identical, so the only question is whether you have a pancreatic reason to test; if not, the Advanced version covers the rest. The CRP in both is qualitative — positive or negative, with no figure; for a CRP value you can follow over time, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it quantitatively in mg/L and costs less than either. ## The three pancreatic additions Amylase - Serum and Lipase- Serum are digestive enzymes made by the pancreas, and both rise when it inflames; Lipase is more pancreas-specific and stays raised longer. They are the standard blood tests for acute pancreatitis — severe upper abdominal pain boring to the back with vomiting, a hospital matter the same day, not a routine report. A mildly raised amylase in a well person often has a benign cause. CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker needs most care. It is a tumour marker: a screening aid a doctor interprets alongside symptoms and imaging, never alone. It is commonly raised in benign biliary and pancreatic disease — gallstones, bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis — and jaundice of any cause pushes it up. Its established use is monitoring pancreatic cancer already diagnosed, not finding it in people without symptoms. It also has a hard biological limit: 5 to 10% of people are Lewis-antigen negative and cannot produce CA19.9 at all, so their result stays undetectable even with cancer present. A normal value does not exclude cancer; a raised one does not confirm it. ## Testosterone, PSA and CEA Testosterone Total screens for hypogonadism — fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle mass, low mood. Draw it between 7 and 10 AM, since testosterone peaks early and an afternoon sample can read low in a normal man; a low value is confirmed with a repeat morning sample plus free testosterone or SHBG. Prostate Specific Antigen - PSA (Total) and Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) carry the same caveat as CA19.9: a doctor reads them with your symptoms and examination, a raised value usually has a non-cancerous cause, and a normal value does not exclude cancer. PSA climbs with benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, urinary infection, even a long cycle ride or recent ejaculation. CEA runs higher in smokers; colonoscopy, not CEA, screens bowel cancer. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination A qualified pathologist spreads a slide, reads it under a microscope and reports Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression — skilled manual time, which is why price-led packages drop it. A CBC says haemoglobin is low; only the slide says the cells are small and pale (iron deficiency), large (B12 or folate deficiency) or sickle-shaped (sickle cell disease). The pathologist also spots blast cells pointing to possible leukaemia and clumped platelets an analyser reports as dangerously low. Under Hemoparasites the slide is checked for malarial parasites — worth having across Delhi NCR every monsoon. ## Booking this in Delhi Among Delhi's trading and business families the day runs long, meals land late and heavy, and business dinners involve alcohol — a pattern that bears on the liver, triglyceride and pancreatic markers here. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation. Liver Function (12): SGOT/SGPT plus GGT, the earliest alcohol marker, and alcohol is a leading cause of pancreatitis; NAFLD affects 30–40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian J Gastroenterol, 2022). Kidney Function (12): Creatinine, GFR and uric acid. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL cholesterol predicts risk better than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018); very high triglycerides themselves cause pancreatitis. Complete Urine Analysis (17): Proteinuria, glycosuria, infection — not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate microalbumin/ACR test. Blood Glucose Fasting (1) and HbA1c (2): Under 100 mg/dL normal, 100–125 prediabetes, 126+ diabetes (ADA, 2024); 101 million Indian adults have diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet, 2023). Anaemia and haemoglobin variants distort HbA1c — read it with the CBC. Thyroid Profile (3): One in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013). Iron Studies (5): Separates iron deficiency from chronic-disease anaemia; thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC. Vitamin B12 (1): 47–70% of Indians deficient (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006). Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) (1): Deficiency 40% to over 90% (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014). RA Factor (1): Positive in only 70–80% of rheumatoid arthritis; a negative does not exclude it, anti-CCP being more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative — inflammation present or absent; not hs-CRP. ## Sources Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647–652 · Anjana et al., ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet Diab Endo, 2023;11(7):474–489 · Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775–782 · Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014;39(4):178–184 · ADA, 2024 · AHA/ACC, 2018 · Duseja et al., Indian J Gastroenterol, 2022 Content last reviewed: October 2026
