Full Body Checkup with HbA1c in Delhi — 82 Parameters

82 parameters across 9 components: Complete Blood Count (CBC) with ESR (21), Kidney Function Test (12), Liver Function Test (12), Thyroid Profile with Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3), Thyroxine - Total (TT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) (3), Lipid Profile (9), Complete Urine Analysis (17), Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination (5), HbA1c with average blood glucose (2) and Blood Glucose Fasting (1). One venous blood sample and one urine sample, a 10-hour overnight fast, digital reports in 24 hours.

It starts from 799 in Delhi. That includes free home sample collection and digital reports for all 82 parameters, with nothing added at checkout. Book online or on WhatsApp.

This package contains every one of the 77 parameters in the Basic Full Body Checkup and adds two things — HbA1c with average blood glucose, and a Thyroid Profile of TT3, TT4 and TSH — for a total of 82. Nothing is removed. The Basic version assesses blood sugar on a single fasting reading from one morning and has no thyroid test at all, which is the gap this package closes.

No. It is a screening combination for someone who does not yet know their glucose status. If you already have a diagnosis of diabetes, annual review needs more than this package provides: there is no urine albumin-creatinine ratio and no postprandial glucose here. Ask your physician for an albumin-creatinine ratio and an after-meal glucose reading alongside these tests. The HbA1c, fasting glucose, lipids and kidney markers are all useful to you, but together they are not a complete diabetic annual review.

HbA1c, or glycosylated haemoglobin, measures the proportion of haemoglobin with glucose bound to it. Because that binding is irreversible and a red blood cell lives around three months, it reflects average blood sugar over roughly the preceding 8 to 12 weeks rather than a single moment. The American Diabetes Association Standards of Care in Diabetes, 2024 reads below 5.7% as normal, 5.7 to 6.4% as prediabetes and 6.5% or above as diabetes. It is paired with Blood Glucose Fasting because each finds cases the other misses — a fasting value just under 100 mg/dL can sit beside an HbA1c already in the prediabetic band.

Yes, and this is the most commonly overlooked limitation of the test. HbA1c accuracy is affected by anaemia and by haemoglobin variants, both of which can shift the figure up or down independently of blood sugar, because the test depends on red cell lifespan. Recent blood loss, a transfusion, iron deficiency and conditions such as thalassemia all distort it. That is why the result has to be read alongside the Complete Blood Count with ESR and the Peripheral Smear included in this same package.

Not at the earliest stage. The Complete Urine Analysis is a routine dipstick and microscopy examination that detects overt protein in urine, but it does not detect microalbuminuria — the small amounts of albumin that appear first in diabetic kidney disease, often years before creatinine or GFR change. That needs a separate urine microalbumin or albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) test, which is not part of this package. The Kidney Function Test here does report creatinine, urea, BUN and GFR by MDRD, which stage established kidney disease.

It detects an underactive or overactive thyroid through Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3), Thyroxine - Total (TT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), with TSH the most sensitive marker. It sits here because early diabetes and hypothyroidism present almost identically — fatigue, weight change, low mood — and because untreated hypothyroidism independently raises LDL cholesterol, which the Lipid Profile measures. About one in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid, women around three times as often as men (Unnikrishnan AG, et al., IJEM, 2013;17(4):647-652). Note that this profile measures total rather than free hormones and has no Anti-TPO antibody test.

No. The diagnostic thresholds are the same everywhere — fasting glucose below 100 mg/dL normal, 100 to 125 prediabetes, 126 or above diabetes, and HbA1c below 5.7% normal, 5.7 to 6.4% prediabetes, 6.5% or above diabetes (American Diabetes Association Standards of Care in Diabetes, 2024). What is local is the practicality: a 10-hour fast is far easier to keep if a phlebotomist comes to your home at 7 AM than if you travel across the city and queue while fasting. Nothing about Delhi alters the interpretation of the numbers.

Mainly the fasting sample. Blood Glucose Fasting is a single reading and genuinely reflects the preceding overnight period, so a late or heavy dinner, or a fast shorter than 10 hours, can move it. HbA1c is largely indifferent to any one meal, because it averages roughly 8 to 12 weeks of blood sugar. That is exactly why the two are run together: if your eating pattern is irregular, HbA1c is the more stable figure and the fasting value shows what the overnight period looks like.

A manual microscopic examination of your blood by a qualified pathologist, who prepares a slide and reads it cell by cell, reporting five findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. It earns its place in this package twice over. It characterises anaemia, which distorts HbA1c — small pale cells point to iron deficiency, enlarged cells to B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells to sickle cell disease. And it detects blast cells that may indicate leukaemia and platelet clumping that automated counters report as a critically low platelet count.

Because it cannot be automated. A qualified pathologist has to prepare and read every slide by hand, so the cost is pathologist time rather than machine time, and it is the first component removed when a price point has to be held. Its Hemoparasites finding also matters locally: dengue and malaria are both endemic across Delhi NCR, and a smear can identify malarial parasites inside red blood cells that no automated cell counter would report.

10 hours overnight. Plain water is allowed and encouraged. No tea, coffee, juice or milk during the fasting window. The fast is required for Blood Glucose Fasting and the Lipid Profile. HbA1c does not need fasting, because it reflects roughly three months of blood sugar, and the Thyroid Profile does not either, but both are taken in the same morning draw. Continue diabetes and thyroid medication as prescribed and take the morning dose after the draw.

Free home collection covers Delhi, including Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony, Greater Kailash, Kalkaji, Nehru Place, Okhla, Jasola, New Friends Colony, Malviya Nagar, Saket, Hauz Khas and Vasant Kunj. A trained phlebotomist collects both the blood and the urine sample at your door in a slot you choose, and the sample travels to the laboratory in temperature-controlled conditions.

Digital reports arrive within 24 hours of sample collection. All 82 parameters come with reference ranges and flagged abnormal values. If you have previous results on HealthVas, your report includes trend tracking, which matters most for HbA1c and TSH — the direction either value is moving across two or three years is more informative than any single reading.

Yes. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel. It is not a company-wide certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold accreditation itself. Reports are issued on HealthVas letterhead.

Yes. Add their details during booking and the report is issued in their name. Both conditions this package screens for become more common with age, and in older adults the symptoms of each — tiredness, weight change, low mood — are routinely attributed to ageing instead of tested for. Home collection also means an elderly parent does not have to travel to a laboratory and wait while fasting, which is the single most common reason a checkup gets postponed.
