Comprehensive Full Body Checkup Test with Vitamin D & B12

The Comprehensive Full Body Checkup relies on both blood and urine samples. The blood sample is used to evaluate Blood Sugar fasting and Lipid Panel. Therefore, the blood sample is to be given after 12 hours of fasting. During the fast, the person can have water and regular medications but no food.

The Urine sample is ideally collected as the mid-stream sample of the first urine passed in the morning. However, in the absence of that sample, any standard mid-stream urine sample can be used.

What Preparations Are Needed for a Comprehensive Full Body Check-up?

• The Comprehensive Full Body Checkup requires two different samples - one is a  blood sample and the second is a urine sample. For the blood test, since Blood Sugar Fasting and Lipid Profile are included in this test, 12-hour fasting is necessary before giving the sample

This is to ensure accurate results during the test. While fasting, drinking water and eating regular medicines are allowed.

Another preparation that needs to be done is the presence of a plastic sterile container for the urine sample. The urine sample should ideally be the mid-stream sample of the first urine passed in the morning. This container should not be contaminated with any other substance as it can alter the result.

This is the only preparation required for this Comprehensive Full Body Checkup.

What All Parameters Does the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup  Cover?

This set of tests provides valuable readings of:

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

The number of different blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) in the body, Can help to understand if the person has anaemia, some infection, bone marrow disorder, or an autoimmune condition.

• Haemoglobin
• Erythrocyte (RBC) Count
• Total Leucocytes (WBC) Count
• WBC-DC
• Packed Cell Volume (PCV)
• Platelet count
• Mean Cell Volume (MCV)
• Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH)
• Mean Corpuscular Hb Conc. (MCHC)
• AEC (Absolute Eosinophil Count)
• Absolute Neutrophil Count
• Absolute Lymphocyte Count
• Absolute Monocyte Count
• Absolute Basophils Count
• PDW
• Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)
• RDW SD
• RDW CV
• Platelet to large cell ratio
• PCT

2. Diabetic Screen

The diabetes screen has to be after 10 hours of fasting. This test checks for the basic parameters of diabetes. It does not include Post Prandial Blood Sugars.

• Blood sugar fasting (FBS)
• Hba1C (Glycosylated haemoglobin)
• Average Blood Glucose

3. Lipid Profile

These tests measure the amount of fat (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. The comprehensive health check-up includes both good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Additionally, it also provides the result of triglycerides.

• LDL direct
• Cholesterol
• HDL cholesterol
• Serum VLDL cholesterol
• Triglycerides
• TC/HDL Cholesterol Ratio
• LDL cholesterol

4. Liver Function Test (LFT)

These sets of tests indicate the performance and condition of the liver by measuring some of the liver enzymes. These tests can indicate a range of disease conditions related to digestive problems or overall immunity and health.

• Albumin
• Albumin-to-Globulin Ratio (AGR)
• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
• SGPT (ALT)
• SGOT (AST)
• Bilirubin-Direct
• Bilirubin-Indirect
• Bilirubin-Total
• Globulin
• Proteins
• SGOT/SGPT Ratio

5. Thyroid Profile - Total (T3, T4 & TSH)

These tests measure the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which is responsible for the functioning of the Thyroid gland. T3 and T4 are hormones produced by the Thyroid gland. Together they regulate the metabolism of the body and the test can diagnose Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism.

• T3
• T4
• TSH

6. Urine Routine & Microscopy (Urine R/M)

The urine routine test measures and analyses the urine across several parameters which can indicate disease conditions such as kidney stones, urinary tract infections, kidney injuries or kidney performance.

• Colour
• Appearance
• Specific Gravity
• pH-value
• Proteins
• Urine Glucose
• Nitrite
• Bilirubin-Total
• Erythrocyte (RBC) Count
• Total Leucocytes (WBC) Count
• Urine Epithelial Cells
• Bacteria
• Casts
• Crystals
• Volume
• Ketones
• Urine Blood
• Urobilinogen
• Parasites
• Yeast Cells
• Others

7. Iron Deficiency Profile

This test measures not only the free iron in the bloodstream but also the elements required to bind that iron to the red blood cells as haemoglobin. This test helps diagnose the cause of anaemia. If the haemoglobin is low, then this test helps the doctor understand if it is due to poor intake of iron-rich foods, poor absorption or some other reasons.

• Iron
• Total Iron Binding Capacity
• UIBC
• Transferrin Saturation

8. Renal/Kidney Function Test

A renal function test or kidney function test measures the performance of the kidneys and if they are under stress. Increased creatinine can indicate raised blood pressure levels. Increased uric acid would indicate the possibility or presence of Gout or other crystal-induced inflammatory pathologies. These tests can estimate the overall performance of the kidneys.

• Urea
• Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
• Uric acid
• Creatinine
• BUN/Creatinine Ratio
• Urea/Creatinine Ratio
• EGFR

Other tests:

• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D Total
• Peripheral smear

How Frequently Should You Take This Test?

The comprehensive health check-up test with the Vitamin test package is useful as a screening tool for people of all age groups. For people aged 30 to 40, it is recommended to be screened at least once every year. Thus, the comprehensive health check-up and Vitamin test package can be repeated yearly.

It may also be repeated annually for specific company evaluation processes.

The Comprehensive Full Body Checkup along with the Vitamin test package provides an ideal all-encompassing option for people keen to monitor their health. Many diseases are silent in their origins and may present with a few vague symptoms or no symptoms at all. Diabetes is a prime example of one such illness. The Comprehensive Health Checkup includes some necessary tests for diabetes, such as HbA1c, Lipid Profile, Liver and Kidney Function Tests and other important tests like Vitamin D and B12.

Other Names of Comprehensive Full Body Checkups  

• Comprehensive health check-up with Vitamin profile test.

What Does the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup  Detect?

A comprehensive health check-up can help your doctor to detect a variety of disease conditions.

1. The HbA1c and Blood Sugar Fasting can detect early diabetes or pre-diabetes.
2. The Urine sample can provide signs of any urinary tract infection or kidney stones.
3. The renal function test will indicate possible early kidney diseases such as renal failure, kidney stones or complications arising due to high blood pressure.
4. The CBC test or complete blood count can provide diagnostic indications for:

• Anaemia
• Local infection
• Worms in the stomach
• Poor blood development
• Poor immunity as low white blood cells
• Dengue and other disorders with low platelets.
• Allergic problems by raised eosinophil counts

5. The Vitamin profile test included with this package provides the Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 packages.

Due to these parameters, early detection of Vitamin deficiencies that can cause other symptoms is possible.

For whom is the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup useful?

It is more suited for a younger populace with few to no pre-existing disease conditions. In addition, the comprehensive health check-up is intended more as a screening test than a diagnostic one. Therefore, it is best for males and females of all age groups.

Why is the Comprehensive Full Body Checkup  Prescribed?

The Comprehensive Full Body Checkup test is prescribed as a precautionary measure or a screening test when the diagnosis is not known. This package with the Vitamin profile test ensures that the most vital elements needed for the proper functioning of the body are measured and recorded. It is a test prescribed for those seeking an annual health check-up and status update of the vital parameters. The comprehensive entire-body check-up test is useful for people who have more than one disease condition to monitor — for example, Diabetes, Cholesterol and some liver or renal disorders.

The Comprehensive Full Body Checkup is helpful as a screening tool to detect any disease/conditions that may be prevalent or in their initial stages.

The Vitamin D and B12 tests are used to diagnose unexplained weakness, lethargy, fatigue or irritability.
