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 Noida. Lab: NABL-accredited.
This is the Basic Full Body Checkup plus the two deficiency markers that explain most unexplained fatigue in Indian adults: Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy) and Vitamin B12. All 77 base parameters stay. It runs parallel to the Full Body Checkup with Thyroid, which adds a Thyroid Profile at 80 parameters instead, and to the Full Body Checkup with HbA1c, which adds thyroid and a three-month glucose average at 82. The Advanced Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12 holds both vitamins alongside thyroid, Iron Studies and HbA1c at 89 parameters.
Vitamin D When You Sleep Through the Daylight
Vitamin D is made in skin exposed to UVB sunlight. Diet contributes very little, which is why sun exposure is the variable that decides most people's level. Noida's BPO, call-centre and offshore-support sector runs night and rotational shifts aligned to US and European hours, and a worker on permanent nights sleeps through the daylight and travels both ways in the dark. For that pattern the main input is close to absent for months at a stretch, and no amount of time outdoors on a day off replaces it. That makes measuring rather than assuming worthwhile.
Deficiency ranges from 40% to over 90% across Indian populations (Ritu & Gupta, IJCM, 2014;39(4):178-184). The Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline, 2011 reads below 20 ng/mL as deficiency, 20-30 ng/mL as insufficiency and above 30 ng/mL as adequate. Low vitamin D shows up as bone and muscle aching, lower back pain, proximal muscle weakness and fatigue, and it is routinely mistaken for overwork. The test here is Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy, the correct screening assay.
Vitamin B12 is the second marker. Between 47% and 70% of Indians are deficient, rising above 70% among vegetarians (Yajnik et al., JAPI, 2006;54:775-782). B12 occurs naturally only in animal-derived foods, and the amounts in milk, curd and paneer fall short of daily needs. Deficiency causes fatigue, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet and memory difficulty, and the nerve damage becomes irreversible if it is caught late. One useful overlap: B12 and iron deficiency both cause anaemia, and because they move red cell size in opposite directions, having both at once can leave the CBC indices looking near-normal. The smear is what catches that.
Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination
The deliverable here is a sentence, not a number: a written Impression from a qualified pathologist who prepared a slide from your sample and read it under a microscope. That is pathologist time rather than analyser time, and it is the first line item removed when a package has to hit a price.
The Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination reports five findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites, and that Impression.
An automated counter returns numbers and flags whatever falls outside range. A pathologist reads size, shape and internal structure, which is how a low haemoglobin acquires a cause. Microcytic red cells point towards iron deficiency, macrocytic cells towards B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells towards sickle cell disease. The same slide identifies blast cells that raise the possibility of leukaemia, and platelet clumping that an analyser misreports as a dangerously low platelet count. Dengue and malaria are endemic across Delhi NCR, and the Hemoparasites finding is where malarial parasites inside red cells are seen.
Limits of Both Vitamin Results
A normal Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy does not rule out a calcium or parathyroid disorder, which needs separate testing. Serum B12 measures total B12, most of it bound and not available to cells, so an early or borderline deficiency can sit inside the reference range; if symptoms persist with a low-normal result, homocysteine or methylmalonic acid is the follow-up, and neither is in this package. Supplementing before the test raises both results and can mask a deficiency. The package also contains no Iron Studies or ferritin, no Thyroid Profile and no HbA1c, and the Complete Urine Analysis finds overt protein but not microalbuminuria.
The Other 7 Components
CBC with ESR (21): Anaemia, infection, inflammation, blood disorders; over 50% of Indian women aged 15-49 are anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019-21). Liver Function Test (12): NAFLD affects 30-40% of urban Indian adults (Duseja et al., Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2022). Kidney Function Test (12): Creatinine and GFR by MDRD stage kidney disease; uric acid screens for gout. Lipid Profile (9): Includes Non-HDL cholesterol, a better predictor than LDL alone (AHA/ACC, 2018). Complete Urine Analysis (17): Infection, proteinuria, crystals. Blood Glucose Fasting (1): Below 100 mg/dL normal, 100-125 prediabetes, 126 or above diabetes (ADA, 2024).
