Full body checkup blood and urine tests are the most proven way to analyze and take precaution/prevention to health risk factors. Many preventive healthcare service providers like Thyrocare, Dr. Lal Path Labs, 1mg, Metropolis, Ranbaxy (not in service now), and Aarogyam in India help us in taking care of our health issues by offering full body health checkup packages like Aarogyam A to XL, Aarogyam 1.1 to 1.8, Metabolic Profile Basic to Advanced, Paleo Profile Basic to Advances, and more.
As India has significantly high numbers of diabetic patients, many path labs including Thyrocare, Aarogyam, etc. also offer Diabetic Profile Basic and Advanced Full Body Preventive Checkup Packages for complete pathological scanning of the body.
There are also cardiac profiles to have a full body checkup, but mostly relevant to cardiac risk and heart diseases.
Which Tests are Covered in a Full Body Checkup Package?
Overall, a full body checkup package covers most of the health disorder related tests. A complete package may contain the liver function, kidney function, thyroid, diabetes, cardiac risk, lipid level, hemoglobin, platelet count, differential and total blood counts, blood mineral, vitamin level, toxic elements, pancreatic disorder, metabolic disorder, arthritis issue, bone issue, etc. related tests.
There are also basic full body checkup packages that covers basic tests like KFT, RFT, Lipid Profile, Diabetic Basic, Thyroid Profile, and Hemogram Blood Counts.
A standard package may cover some more tests including basic hormones and vitamins.
Types of Full Body Checkup Packages
There can be many types of comprehensive health checkup packages. For convenience, we can divide them in four categories, such as:
- Basic wellness packages having 30 to 50 tests
- Standard wellness packages having 50 to 70 tests
- Advanced wellness packages having 70 to 100 tests
- Master wellness packages having 100 to 140 tests
Different brands names the packages differently.
Cost of Full Body Checkup
A full-body health checkup test package can be basic, standard or advanced (master/executive) depending upon the number of tests/parameters and profiles as well as prices and requirements. The price can be as low as₹498 and as much as ₹8,000. N umbers of tests can vary from 14 to 140.
Prices of full body checkup packages mostly depend upon the cost of the tests included, not on the number of tests. So numbers might not be a significant decisive factor while selecting a full body checkup package. It’s always wise to select a package with the most significant tests, but not the number of tests. For example, while you can get 80 tests at just ₹1278 (Healthscreen Standard), you may need to pay ₹1280 or more for 64 tests (Aarogyam C). As Vitamin B12 and 25 OH Vitamin D Totals are costly tests, the offer price of Aarogyam C will go higher.
Please note that the above prices for different full body checkup packages are offer prices as of now. Maximun retail prices (MRP) can be much higher.
As we can check, full body checkup packages cost many time lower than the actual cost of individual tests included in the package.

How to Choose a Preventive Health Checkup Package
Choosing a preventive heath checkup package is really a tough task. As there are hundred packages by more than two dozens of brands with different type of combinations, a layman can be confused.
Whatever it may be, during choosing a full body checkup package, you need to think about basic requirements. If you don’t have any reported health issues are young, you may go for a standard package with 60 to 80 tests. Aarogyam B or C can be an option.
People above 45 years old should go for an advanced package like Aarogyam 1.3 or 1.4. With some reported health issue like diabetes, thyroid or obesity, it is wise choose a master package.
As a sum up, it depends upon your age and health status to select a preventive full-body checkup package.
