Package: Advanced Full Body Checkup for Men. Tests: 94 parameters, 17 components. Price: From 1899. Fasting: 10 hours. Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Free across Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited. This is the 14-component Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor plus three male tests: Testosterone Total, Prostate Specific Antigen - PSA (Total) and Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA). The tier above, the Comprehensive Health Checkup for Men, adds exactly three more — Amylase, Lipase and CA19.9, all pancreatic — and nothing else; with no pancreatic reason to test, book this one. The CRP here is qualitative — positive or negative, no figure. For a CRP number you can follow across repeat tests, the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup with CRP & RA Factor reports it in mg/L and costs less. ## Testosterone, and What a Morning Sample Means on a Night Shift Testosterone Total screens for hypogonadism: months of fatigue, low libido, lost muscle and strength, low mood, poor concentration. The complication is timing. Testosterone follows a strong daily rhythm and is conventionally sampled between 7 and 10 AM — which assumes you slept the night before. For a Noida night-shift worker finishing at 6 AM, a 7 AM draw is not a rested morning sample; it is the end of a working day. Tell your doctor your shift pattern and sleep timing, because without it the figure can read low in a man whose testosterone is normal. Sampling at the same point in your own sleep-wake cycle makes two results comparable. A single low value is not a diagnosis. The next step is a repeat sample with free testosterone or Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), since most testosterone is SHBG-bound and SHBG shifts with obesity, thyroid and liver disease. LH and FSH, which separate testicular from pituitary causes, are not included. ## PSA and CEA: Screening Aids, Not Answers Both are tumour markers. A doctor interprets them alongside symptoms, examination and, where needed, imaging. A raised value has many non-cancerous causes, and a normal value does not exclude cancer. Prostate Specific Antigen - PSA (Total) is made by prostate tissue generally, not by prostate cancer specifically. It rises with benign prostatic hyperplasia (age-related prostate enlargement), prostatitis, and recent cycling or ejaculation. A PSA inside range does not rule prostate cancer out. A raised one means a urologist's review: a retest after clearing infection, free-to-total PSA, or MRI. Carcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) mainly monitors colorectal cancer already diagnosed rather than finds it. Smokers carry higher baselines, and CEA also rises in inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis and cirrhosis. A normal CEA does not exclude bowel cancer; colonoscopy or a faecal immunochemical test screens for that, neither included here. ## Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination Every other component here comes off an analyser. This one comes off a microscope: a qualified pathologist spreads a slide, reads it and writes an opinion, reporting Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and an Impression. It adds appearance, not quantity. The CBC reports low haemoglobin; the slide shows small pale cells (iron deficiency), large cells (B12 or folate deficiency) or sickle-shaped cells (sickle cell disease). It flags blast cells that may point to leukaemia, and clumped platelets an analyser returns as a dangerously low count. The Hemoparasites line looks for malarial parasites inside red cells, which matters where dengue and malaria are endemic across Delhi NCR. Being skilled manual time, it is the line cheaper 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., Indian J Gastroenterol, 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Creatinine and GFR stage kidney disease, uric acid screens gout. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL cholesterol predicts risk better than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Protein, glucose, infection — not microalbuminuria, so early diabetic kidney damage needs a separate microalbumin/ACR test. Blood Glucose Fasting (1) and HbA1c (2): Under 100 mg/dL normal, 100-125 prediabetes, 126 or above diabetes; HbA1c 5.7-6.4% prediabetes (ADA, 2024). Anaemia and haemoglobin variants distort 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): Separates iron deficiency from chronic-disease anaemia; thalassemia trait needs Hb electrophoresis or HPLC. Vitamin B12 (1): 47-70% of Indians deficient, over 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006). Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) (1): Deficiency 40% to over 90% (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014); night work means almost no daylight. RA Factor (1): Qualitative; positive in only 70-80% of rheumatoid arthritis, so a negative does not exclude it; anti-CCP is more specific. CRP (1): Qualitative — present or absent, not a number, and not hs-CRP. ## 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
