What is a Full Body Checkup Package?
A full body checkup (also called a preventive health checkup) is a pre-planned bundle of blood and urine tests used to screen your overall health. Instead of ordering tests one-by-one, a bundled package brings together essential profiles (liver, kidney, lipid, diabetes markers, thyroid, vitamins, etc.) to flag risks early and guide follow-up with your clinician.
Why consider a preventive full body checkup?
Early detection is the simplest way to prevent complications and reduce cost. Periodic screening is useful for adults with a family history of metabolic conditions, sedentary jobs, stress, irregular sleep, weight changes, or prior lab abnormalities. Always interpret results with a qualified clinician.
What profiles does a package usually include?
Most packages are built from these core profiles (linked pages explain each): Thyroid, Diabetes, Cardiac risk markers, Lipid profile, Liver (LFT), Kidney (KFT), Complete hemogram, Vitamins, Elements & metals, Metabolic, and urine analysis. Advanced bundles may add autoimmune, inflammatory and specialised markers based on medical advice.
Types of full body checkup packages (how they differ)
- Basic wellness – Core screening (Lipid, LFT, KFT, Thyroid, CBC, Urine, basic glucose). Good for first-time screening or annual baseline.
- Standard wellness – Basic + diabetes panel (HbA1c), extended lipids, and 1–2 vitamins (often B12, D). Suitable for adults 25–40 without specific complaints.
- Advanced wellness – Standard + cardiac risk markers, complete vitamin panel, iron studies, urine microalbumin, and extended elements/metabolic profile. Useful for 30+, those with weight/BP/sugar concerns, or family history.
- Master/executive wellness – Comprehensive multi-profile screening with expanded inflammatory/autoimmune/metals and additional risk markers. Consider under clinical guidance or for periodic deep-dive health reviews.
How to choose the right package (don’t chase “test count”)
- Start with your context: age, symptoms, medical/family history, medications, and prior lab reports.
- Prioritise relevance over volume: a focused standard/advanced package with the right biomarkers is better than a larger bundle of low-value add-ons.
- Match to goals: general screening (<40) → Standard; lifestyle/metabolic risks or >30 → Advanced; complex history or clinician-led review → Master.
- Plan follow-up: discuss abnormal results with a doctor; don’t self-diagnose or alter medication without advice.
Prices: what to expect
In India, offer prices for full body checkups typically range from ₹799–₹10,000+, depending on brand, city, logistics (home sample vs. walk-in), and—in particular—the specific tests included (advanced cardiac markers and comprehensive vitamin/element panels increase cost). MRP is usually higher than limited-time offers.
Tip: focus on medical suitability and quality controls (NABL/CAP-aligned processes) rather than the biggest “test count.”

FAQs
How often should I take a full body checkup? For healthy adults, many clinicians consider annual to biennial screening reasonable; personalise frequency with your doctor based on risks and previous results.
Does a higher test count mean a better package? Not necessarily. Focus on clinically useful markers for your age/history. Some high-count bundles include overlapping or low-yield parameters.
How do I choose between Standard, Advanced, and Master? If you’re <40 with no symptoms/history, Standard is often adequate. Add Advanced if you have weight/BP/sugar/lipid issues or family history. Consider Master for clinician-directed deep screening.
Important: Lab tests don’t replace medical evaluation. Always discuss abnormal values and next steps with a qualified clinician.
