At a Glance
Package: Advanced Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12. Tests: 89 parameters, 12 components. Price: From 999. Fasting: 10 hours. Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Free across Gurgaon. Lab: NABL-accredited.
This is the Basic Full Body Checkup plus the five components that screen for what routine panels miss most often: Thyroid Profile, Iron Studies, HbA1c, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy). If you want inflammation markers as well, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor adds quantitative CRP and RA Factor on top of everything here.
Blood Picture — Peripheral Smear Examination
Most health checkup packages in Gurgaon at this parameter count leave this profile out, and the reason is cost rather than clinical judgement. It cannot be automated: a qualified pathologist has to prepare a slide from your sample and read it under a microscope, cell by cell. That is pathologist time, so it is the line item that gets cut to hold a price point.
The profile reports five findings — Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites, and a written Impression from the pathologist.
An automated analyser counts cells and flags any number outside its reference range. A pathologist sees what a count cannot: the shape, size and internal structure of individual cells. Your CBC can tell you haemoglobin is low. Only the smear tells you why — microcytic cells point toward iron deficiency, macrocytic cells toward B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells toward sickle cell disease. It also catches blast cells that may indicate leukaemia, malarial parasites sitting inside red blood cells, and platelet clumping that automated counters misread as a dangerously low platelet count. In Delhi NCR, where dengue and malaria are both endemic, the Hemoparasites finding earns its place on its own.
What the Five Additions Screen For
Thyroid Profile (3) — TSH, TT3, TT4. One in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid, and women are affected roughly three times as often as men, 15.86% against 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647–652). For Gurgaon's office population this matters because hypothyroid symptoms — fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, cold intolerance — overlap almost entirely with burnout. A blood test is the only thing that separates them.
Iron Studies (5) — Serum Iron, TIBC, UIBC, Transferrin, % Saturation. Over 50% of Indian women aged 15–49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019–21). A CBC says haemoglobin is low; Iron Studies help establish whether that is iron deficiency, where supplements work, or chronic-disease anaemia, where they often do not. Confirming thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC, which is a separate test.
HbA1c (2) — A three-month average of blood glucose, where fasting glucose is a single moment. Below 5.7% is normal, 5.7–6.4% prediabetes, 6.5% and above diabetes (ADA Standards of Care, 2024). India has an estimated 101 million adults with diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2023;11(7):474–489), and many are caught on HbA1c while their fasting glucose still reads normal. Note that anaemia and haemoglobin variants distort HbA1c, so it is read alongside your CBC.
Vitamin B12 (1) — 47–70% of Indians have inadequate levels, rising above 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775–782). B12 occurs naturally only in animal-derived foods. Deficiency causes fatigue, tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, and memory problems, and the nerve damage becomes irreversible if it is caught late.
Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy (1) — Deficiency runs from 40% to over 90% across Indian populations (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014;39(4):178–184). Below 20 ng/mL is deficiency, 20–30 insufficiency, above 30 adequate (Endocrine Society, 2011). An air-conditioned commute, 8–10 hours indoors and a drive home after sunset adds up to near-zero sun exposure.
The Base Seven Components
CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation, blood disorders. Liver Function (12): SGOT/SGPT separate fatty liver from alcohol-related damage, GGT is the earliest alcohol marker; NAFLD affects 30–40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022). Kidney Function (12): Creatinine and GFR stage kidney disease, uric acid screens for gout. Lipid Profile (9): Includes Non-HDL cholesterol, a better cardiovascular predictor than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018), plus three cardiac ratios. Complete Urine Analysis (17): Proteinuria, glycosuria, urinary infection — note the routine dipstick detects overt protein but not microalbuminuria, so early diabetic kidney disease needs a separate urine albumin-creatinine ratio. Blood Glucose Fasting (1): Under 100 mg/dL normal, 100–125 prediabetes, 126+ diabetes (ADA, 2024). Peripheral Smear (5): Covered above.
