At a Glance
Package: Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12. Tests: 79 parameters, 9 components. Price: From 899. Fasting: 10 hours. Sample: Blood and urine, single draw. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Free across Greater Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited.
This is the Basic Full Body Checkup plus two single-test additions: Vitamin B12 (1) and Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy (1), taking 77 parameters to 79 across 9 components. It runs parallel to two other variants rather than above them — the Full Body Checkup with Thyroid adds a Thyroid Profile at 80, and the Full Body Checkup with HbA1c adds thyroid and a three-month glucose average at 82. The Advanced Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12 contains all three sets of additions at 89.
Indoors, and Eating from a Mess or a Shared Kitchen
Greater Noida's student and young-institutional population lives a pattern that works against both of these vitamins. Days run between a hostel room, a classroom and a library, and sunlight exposure is incidental rather than daily — Vitamin D is synthesised in skin on direct sun exposure, and almost nothing in an indoor day provides it. Reported deficiency across Indian populations ranges from 40% to over 90% (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014;39(4):178-184). The same applies to desk work in the Techzone 4 and Surajpur offices.
B12 is a diet question, and a sharper one here. It occurs naturally only in animal-derived foods. Students living away from home, eating from a mess or a shared kitchen, are frequently vegetarian by default rather than by choice, and the amounts in milk, curd and paneer fall short of daily requirements. Between 47% and 70% of Indians have inadequate B12, rising above 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775-782). Deficiency presents as fatigue, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet and memory difficulty, and the nerve damage becomes irreversible if found late.
Both are blood tests off the same draw, and free home collection across Alpha 2, Beta 1, Knowledge Park 1, Knowledge Park 3, Pi 2, Mu, Kasna and Jagat Farm means a student without transport does not have to work out how to reach a collection centre before 9 AM.
Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination
On this package the smear earns its place by being early. B12 and folate deficiency enlarge red blood cells, and that macrocytic appearance is often visible on a slide while the haemoglobin is still inside its reference range and before any symptom has arrived — which is the only window in which the nerve damage is fully preventable. Iron deficiency does the opposite, producing small, pale cells. Read next to the Vitamin B12 result, the two either agree or raise a question worth asking.
The Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination is performed by a qualified pathologist, who prepares a slide from your sample and examines it cell by cell under a microscope. No analyser does this: it is pathologist time, not machine time, which is why it is dropped to hold a price point. Five findings are reported — Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression.
Beyond cell size it detects sickle-shaped cells indicating sickle cell disease, blast cells raising the possibility of leukaemia, and platelet clumping that an automated counter misreads as a dangerously low platelet count. The Hemoparasites finding looks for malarial parasites inside red cells, relevant across Delhi NCR where dengue and malaria are endemic.
Reading the Two Vitamin Results
Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy is the screening form of the test, and the Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, 2011 reads below 20 ng/mL as deficiency, 20 to 30 ng/mL as insufficiency and above 30 ng/mL as adequate. Vitamin B12 carries an important limitation: a result inside the reference range does not fully exclude functional deficiency, because serum B12 measures total circulating B12 rather than what reaches the cells. Where symptoms persist with a borderline value, homocysteine or methylmalonic acid are the usual follow-up tests and neither is included. Nor are folate or parathyroid hormone. There is no Thyroid Profile and no HbA1c here, and the urine analysis detects overt protein but not microalbuminuria.
The Other 7 Components
CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation and blood disorders; over 50% of Indian women aged 15-49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21). Liver Function Test (12): Bilirubin fractions, ALP, SGOT, SGPT, GGT and the protein group; NAFLD affects 30-40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Creatinine, urea, BUN, electrolytes, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid and GFR by MDRD. Lipid Profile (9): Includes Non-HDL cholesterol, a better cardiovascular predictor than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Protein, glucose, ketones, blood, nitrites, pus cells, casts and crystals. Blood Glucose Fasting (1): Below 100 mg/dL normal, 100-125 prediabetes, 126 or above diabetes (ADA, 2024).
