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 Gurgaon. Lab: NABL-accredited. Plainly: 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 concern the pancreas; the other 94 parameters are identical. That is a narrow difference, so the question is whether you have a reason to test the pancreas. If not, the Advanced version covers the same ground. The CRP in both is qualitative — positive or negative, not a number. For a trackable CRP value in mg/L, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it quantitatively 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 is inflamed; Lipase is the more pancreas-specific and stays raised longer. They are the standard blood tests for acute pancreatitis — severe upper abdominal pain boring through to the back, usually with vomiting — which is an emergency for a hospital the same day, not a routine report. Amylase also rises with salivary gland disease, reduced kidney clearance and some medicines, so a mildly raised result in a healthy person often has a benign explanation such as macroamylasaemia. Alcohol and gallstones cause most pancreatitis, so these tests inform most if either applies. CA19.9 - Pancreatic Cancer Marker needs the most caution here. It is a tumour marker: a screening aid a doctor interprets alongside symptoms and imaging. A raised CA19.9 is common in benign biliary and pancreatic disease — gallstones, bile duct obstruction, cholangitis, chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis — and jaundice of any cause raises it. Its established use is monitoring pancreatic cancer already diagnosed, not finding it in people without symptoms. There is also 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 if pancreatic cancer is present. A normal value does not exclude cancer; a raised one does not confirm it. ## Testosterone Total, PSA and CEA Testosterone Total screens for hypogonadism — fatigue, low libido, loss of muscle mass, low mood. Draw it between 7 and 10 AM, because testosterone peaks in the early morning and an afternoon sample can read low in a man whose level is normal; 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 rises with benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, urinary infection, even recent cycling or ejaculation. CEA runs higher in smokers; colonoscopy, not CEA, screens for bowel cancer. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination No analyser can produce this. A qualified pathologist prepares a slide from your sample, reads it under a microscope and reports Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. That is skilled manual time, which is why packages competing on price drop it. A CBC says haemoglobin is low; only the smear 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 platelet clumping an automated counter reports as a dangerously low count. Under Hemoparasites the slide is checked for malarial parasites — worth having in Delhi NCR through every monsoon. ## The Other 13 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 — 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 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); very high triglycerides are themselves a cause of pancreatitis. Complete Urine Analysis (17): Proteinuria, glycosuria, urinary 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 distorts HbA1c, so 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. CRP, qualitative (1): Inflammation present or absent; not hs-CRP, the cardiac-risk assay. ## 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
