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 Greater Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited. Stated plainly: this is the Advanced Full Body Checkup for Men plus exactly three pancreatic tests - Amylase - Serum, Lipase- Serum and CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker. The other 94 parameters are identical, so with nothing pointing at the pancreas, the Advanced version covers the rest for less. The CRP in both is qualitative - positive or negative, no figure; for a trackable number in mg/L, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor costs less than either. ## The Three Pancreatic Additions Amylase - Serum and Lipase- Serum are pancreatic digestive enzymes that rise when the pancreas 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 same-day hospital matter, not a routine report. A mildly raised amylase in a well man often has a benign cause, such as macroamylasaemia. CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker needs most care. It is a tumour marker: a screening aid read alongside symptoms and imaging, never alone. It is commonly raised in benign biliary and pancreatic conditions - gallstones, bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis - and by jaundice. Its established use is monitoring pancreatic cancer already diagnosed, not finding it. It also has a hard limit: the 5 to 10% of people who are Lewis-antigen negative 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. ## The Morning Window, and the Half-Day It Costs Testosterone Total screens for hypogonadism - fatigue, low libido, lost muscle, low mood - and must be drawn between 7 and 10 AM: testosterone peaks early, and an afternoon sample can read low in a man whose level is normal. For an older man in a Greater Noida residential sector that instruction, not the test, is the hard part. The area is spread out, so arriving inside the window means leaving fasting and early - most of a morning gone, which is why this appointment gets postponed. A phlebotomist at the door in Alpha 1 or Jagat Farm removes the journey. A low value is confirmed with a repeat morning sample plus free testosterone or SHBG, neither included. Prostate Specific Antigen - PSA (Total) and Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) carry the same caveat: a raised value usually has a non-cancerous cause, a normal value does not exclude cancer, and a doctor reads both with your symptoms and examination. PSA climbs with benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, and recent cycling or ejaculation. CEA runs higher in smokers and in inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis and cirrhosis; colonoscopy, not CEA, screens for bowel cancer. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination One component here can overrule another. 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. A platelet count that looks dangerously low is most often clumping in the tube, and the slide settles it on the sample you already gave, without a second visit - here, a second journey. It also explains the CBC: low haemoglobin with small pale cells means iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease. Blast cells point to possible leukaemia, and Hemoparasites checks for malarial parasites, which matter where dengue and malaria are endemic in Delhi NCR. Being skilled manual time, it is what price-led packages drop. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation. 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 cholesterol predicts risk better than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018); very high triglycerides cause pancreatitis. Complete Urine Analysis (17): Protein, glucose, infection - not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate ACR test. Blood Glucose Fasting (1) and HbA1c (2): Under 100 mg/dL normal, 100-125 prediabetes, 126+ diabetes (ADA, 2024); anaemia distorts HbA1c - read it with the CBC. Thyroid Profile (3): TT3, TT4, TSH; one in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013). Iron Studies (5): Iron deficiency vs 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): Qualitative; positive in only 70-80% of rheumatoid arthritis, a negative does not exclude it; anti-CCP is more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative - present or absent, not hs-CRP. ## Sources 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
