Package: Advanced Full Body Checkup for Women. Tests: 96 parameters, 19 components. Price: From 1999. Fasting: 10 hours. Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Free across Greater Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited. This is the 14-component Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor plus five women's tests: Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker. The tier above, the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women, adds only three pancreatic tests - Amylase, Lipase and CA19.9; with no pancreatic reason to test, book this one. The CRP here is qualitative, no figure; for a trackable CRP in mg/L the 91-parameter Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor costs less. ## Cycle Day Is a Date, Not a Convenient Afternoon FSH, LH and Prolactin are the first-line panel for irregular periods, suspected PCOS and fertility workup. FSH and LH are pituitary hormones driving the ovarian cycle: the FSH/LH ratio forms part of a PCOS assessment, LH often high relative to FSH, while a persistently high FSH points to declining ovarian reserve or menopause. Raised prolactin suppresses ovulation, a common and treatable cause of absent periods. Here is the practical problem. FSH and LH are measured on day 2 to 5, day 1 being the first day of bleeding, because the reference ranges are early-follicular; a mid-cycle sample can show a normal LH surge reading high against them. The sample is therefore due on a particular day, two or three days wide, that cannot be booked weeks ahead. Where the nearest centre is a journey rather than a walk, that window is easy to miss and the test slides a month. A phlebotomist who comes to Delta 2 or Mu on the day you ring makes day 2 to 5 achievable. Tell the collection team your cycle day; a mildly raised prolactin is repeated after rest. ## What CA125 and CEA Can and Cannot Tell You Both are tumour markers: screening aids a doctor interprets alongside symptoms, examination and imaging. A raised value has many non-cancerous causes; a normal value does not exclude cancer. CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker rises in endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy and ordinary menstruation - all far commoner than ovarian cancer before 50. Many early ovarian cancers never raise it, so a normal figure is not reassurance: persistent bloating or pelvic pain needs a gynaecologist and an ultrasound regardless. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) follows colorectal cancer already diagnosed rather than finding it. Smokers carry higher baselines; it also rises in bowel inflammation, pancreatitis and cirrhosis. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer - colonoscopy screens for that, and is not here. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination A haemoglobin figure tells you that you are anaemic. It does not tell you which anaemia, and the treatments differ. Closing that gap is this component: a qualified pathologist prepares a slide, reads it under a microscope and reports Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. For women it is the most useful line on the report: over 50% of Indian women aged 15-49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21), and iron is not always the reason. Small pale cells mean iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease - three appearances, three different answers. The pathologist also sees blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, and clumped platelets an analyser returns as dangerously low, which the slide settles on the sample already taken instead of costing another journey. Under Hemoparasites it looks for malarial parasites, endemic alongside dengue across Delhi NCR. Being pathologist time, it is the line dropped at this price. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation. Iron Studies (5): Iron deficiency versus chronic-disease anaemia; thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC. Thyroid Profile (3): TT3, TT4, TSH; Indian women are hypothyroid three times as often as men, 15.86% vs 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013). Liver Function Test (12): SGOT, SGPT, GGT; NAFLD affects 30-40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Creatinine, GFR, uric acid. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL beats LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Protein, glucose, infection - not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate ACR test. Blood Glucose Fasting (1) and HbA1c (2): 100-125 mg/dL prediabetes, 126+ diabetes (ADA, 2024); anaemia distorts HbA1c - read it with the CBC. 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): Qualitative; positive in only 70-80% of rheumatoid arthritis, a negative does not exclude it, anti-CCP being more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative - present or absent, not hs-CRP. ## Sources NFHS-5, 2019-21 · Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647-652 · 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
