To this effect, this test package includes basic tests like complete blood count, blood sugar, lipid profile, kidney function test, thyroid profile, liver function test, complete urine analysis, vitamins, electrolytes, and vitamin D and B12.

If you have any kind of cramps, or feel weak and dull, your doctor may suggest this package. Also, if you have specific health issues like diabetes or bone disorders, any risk factors for deficiencies, or have a restrictive diet, you may benefit from the Comprehensive Plus Checkup with Vitamins and Electrolytes to monitor your overall health.

The phlebotomist will visit your location and collect fasting blood samples for the Comprehensive Plus Checkup Package with Vitamins and Electrolytes.

A urine sample will also be necessary. For this, the first urine of the morning is suggested.

The samples will then be sent to the lab for testing.

The test helps to assess risks like anaemia, infections, and other blood related issues.

CBC Test

The Complete Blood Count or CBC test checks the number of different blood cells in the body like red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. This test is essential as it helps to detect blood conditions like any infection, anemia, leukaemia, or an autoimmune condition. The test checks these parameters:

• AEC Test

• Platelet Count Test
• Erythrocyte Count (RBC) Test
• Mean Cell Volume (MCV) Test
• Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH) Test
• Mean Corpuscular Hb Concentration (MCHC)

• Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Test
• Absolute Basophils Count (ABC) Test
• Packed Cell Volume (PCV)
• Neutrophils
• Lymphocytes
• Monocytes
• Eosinophils
• Basophils
• Absolute Neutrophil Count
• Absolute Monocyte Count
• Immature Granulocyte Percentage
• RDW SD
• Nucleated Red Blood Cells Percentage
• Immature Granulocytes
• Nucleated Red Blood Cells
• RDW-CV

Diabetes Screening

The diabetes screening test helps detect prediabetes or diabetes. It includes:

• Fasting blood sugar(FBS)
• Hba1C (Glycosylated haemoglobin)
• Average Blood Glucose

Lipid Profile

The tests in the lipid profile checks the blood for fat in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol, helping to detect any cardiovascular diseases. The parameters included in the test are:

• LDL Cholesterol Direct Test
• Total Cholesterol
• HDL Cholesterol Test
• Triglycerides Test
• Serum VLDL cholestrol
• LDL/HDL ratio
• TC/HDL Cholesterol Ratio
• Non HDL Cholesterol
• HDL / LDL Cholesterol Ratio

Thyroid Profile

The thyroid profile measures the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH, the hormone responsible for regulating the thyroid gland. T3 and T4 are hormones that are secreted by the thyroid, and help to regulate the body’s metabolism. The test measures:

• Thyroxine (T4) Test
• Triiodothyronine (T3) Test
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone - Ultrasensitive (UTSH)

Urine Routine Test

The urine test analyses the urine, helping to detect issues line kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and overall performance of the kidney. The test checks the following parameters:

Iron Profile

The iron profile test checks the blood for free iron, as well as the elements that are needed to bind the iron to the red blood cells as haemoglobin. If haemoglobin is low, it could indicate anemia. The doctor will then analyse if this is due to low iron or poor absorption. The parameters that are tested are:

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

KFT

The kidney function test is important as it checks the performance of the kidneys. If the creatinine level is high, this indicates high blood pressure, high levels of uric acid indicate gout or other inflammations. The test includes:
