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 Gurgaon. Lab: NABL-accredited.
This is the Basic Full Body Checkup — all 77 of its parameters — plus Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) and Vitamin B12. It sits alongside two other single-concern versions of the same base rather than above them: the Full Body Checkup with Thyroid adds a Thyroid Profile instead, and the Full Body Checkup with HbA1c & Thyroid adds a three-month glucose average with thyroid. If you want the vitamins and thyroid and Iron Studies and HbA1c in one draw, that combination is the Advanced Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12 at 89 parameters — this package does not include thyroid, iron or HbA1c.
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) and Vitamin B12
These two deficiencies account for a large share of the fatigue, body ache and low mood that people bring to a checkup, and neither shows up on a CBC, liver or kidney panel.
Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) is the storage form of the vitamin and the correct marker for assessing status. Reported prevalence of deficiency across Indian populations ranges from 40% to over 90% depending on the group studied (Ritu G, Gupta A, Indian Journal of Community Medicine, 2014;39(4):178-184). The Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, 2011 reads it as deficiency below 20 ng/mL, insufficiency between 20 and 30, and adequate above 30. Low vitamin D presents as bone and muscle ache, lower back pain, proximal muscle weakness, frequent infections and poor recovery after exercise — not as anything dramatic, which is why it goes unmeasured for years.
Vitamin B12 deficiency affects an estimated 47 to 70% of Indians and over 70% of vegetarians (Yajnik CS et al., Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, 2006;54:775-782). B12 occurs naturally only in animal-derived foods, and the quantities in milk, curd and paneer fall well short of daily requirement. It causes fatigue, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, balance problems, a sore tongue, irritability and memory difficulty. The nerve damage from prolonged deficiency can become permanent, which makes this a test worth doing before symptoms are established rather than after.
Limitations to carry into the consultation: a serum B12 result sits in a grey zone between roughly 200 and 300 pg/mL where symptoms can exist despite a figure inside the reference range, and confirming it needs homocysteine or methylmalonic acid, neither of which is in this package. Metformin, long-term antacids and proton pump inhibitors all lower B12 absorption. Supplements taken in the days before the draw raise both results, so test before starting them. And deficiency is a finding, not a cause — B12 deficiency from pernicious anaemia or coeliac disease needs separate investigation.
Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination
Including the smear is what makes a B12 result interpretable rather than just a number. B12 and folate deficiency enlarge red blood cells, and that enlargement is visible under a microscope. A qualified pathologist prepares the slide by hand and reads it cell by cell; no analyser can do it, which is why the cost is pathologist time and why competing packages at this parameter count usually leave it out.
The profile reports Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites and a written Impression. Macrocytic red cells support a low B12 or folate; microcytic, pale cells point instead to iron deficiency; sickle-shaped cells indicate sickle cell disease. The smear additionally flags blast cells that may indicate leukaemia and platelet clumping that automated counters misread as a dangerously low platelet count. Hemoparasites is the finding that matters most in Gurgaon during and after the monsoon, with both dengue and malaria endemic across Delhi NCR.
The Other 6 Components
CBC with ESR (21): Haemoglobin, red cell indices, platelet count, white cell differential and ESR — over 50% of Indian women aged 15-49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21). Liver Function Test (12): Bilirubin fractions, ALP, SGOT, SGPT, GGT, protein, albumin and both ratios; NAFLD affects 30-40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Urea, creatinine, BUN, electrolytes, uric acid, calcium, phosphorus and GFR by MDRD — the calcium and phosphorus here read alongside vitamin D, since vitamin D governs calcium absorption. Lipid Profile (9): Non-HDL cholesterol is a better cardiovascular predictor than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018), plus three cardiac ratios. Complete Urine Analysis (17): Urinary infection, overt proteinuria, glycosuria, crystals. Blood Glucose Fasting (1): Below 100 mg/dL normal, 100-125 prediabetes, 126 or above diabetes (ADA Standards of Care, 2024).
