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 Gurgaon. Lab: NABL-accredited. This is the 14-component Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor plus five tests specific to women: Prolactin, IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone, Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) and CA125 - Ovarian Cancer marker. The tier above it, the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Women, adds exactly three more — Amylase, Lipase and CA19.9, all pancreatic. Without a pancreatic reason to test, this version covers the same ground. The CRP here is qualitative — positive or negative, not a number. For a CRP value trackable across repeat tests, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it quantitatively in mg/L and costs less. ## FSH, LH and Prolactin — the ovulatory hormones They are the standard first-line panel for irregular periods, suspected PCOS and fertility workup. IHC- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone are pituitary hormones that drive the ovarian cycle; the FSH/LH ratio is part of how PCOS is assessed, LH often running high relative to FSH, while a high FSH points to declining ovarian reserve or the menopausal transition. Prolactin is a common cause of irregular or absent periods — raised prolactin suppresses ovulation, and it is treatable with medication once the cause is identified. Cycle day changes the interpretation. FSH and LH are conventionally measured on day 2 to 5, counting the first day of bleeding as day 1, because the reference ranges are early-follicular. A mid-cycle sample can show a normal LH surge that reads high against them, so tell the collection team your cycle day. Prolactin is also raised by stress, a recent breast examination, sleep deprivation and several medicines, so a mildly high value is repeated in rested morning conditions. ## CA125 and CEA — what these tumour markers can and cannot do Both are screening aids interpreted by a doctor alongside symptoms, examination and imaging: a raised value has many non-cancerous causes, and 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 more common than ovarian cancer in women under 50, and the usual explanation for a raised CA125 before menopause. Many early-stage ovarian cancers do not raise it, so a normal result is not reassurance: persistent bloating, pelvic pain or early satiety needs a gynaecologist and a pelvic ultrasound whatever the number says. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) monitors colorectal cancer already diagnosed rather than detecting it; smokers run higher baselines, and it rises in inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis and cirrhosis. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer — colonoscopy does that. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination No machine can produce this. A qualified pathologist prepares a slide from your sample and reads it under a microscope, reporting Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. Over 50% of Indian women aged 15–49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019–21), and a CBC tells you haemoglobin is low without telling you why. Cell shape answers that: small pale cells indicate iron deficiency, large cells B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells sickle cell disease. The pathologist also identifies blast cells that can indicate leukaemia, platelet clumping an automated counter reports as a dangerously low count, and, under Hemoparasites, malarial parasites inside red cells — relevant in Delhi NCR. Being pathologist time rather than machine time, it is the component most often missing at this price. ## The Other 13 Components CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation, blood disorders. Iron Studies (5): Separates iron deficiency, where supplements help, from chronic-disease anaemia, where they often do not; thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC. Thyroid Profile (3): Indian women are hypothyroid three times as often as men, 15.86% vs 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013) — itself a cause of irregular cycles. Liver Function (12): SGOT/SGPT and GGT detect fatty liver; NAFLD affects 30–40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian J Gastroenterol, 2022). Kidney Function (12): Creatinine and GFR stage kidney disease; uric acid screens for gout. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL cholesterol predicts risk better than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018), plus three ratios. Complete Urine Analysis (17): Proteinuria, glycosuria, urinary infection — not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate urine 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 distorts HbA1c, so 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): Positive in only 70–80% of rheumatoid arthritis; a negative does not exclude it. CRP, qualitative (1): Inflammation present or absent; not hs-CRP, the cardiac-risk assay. ## Sources NFHS-5, 2019–21 · 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
