What is Metabolic Health?
Metabolism is the process by which your body converts food into energy. Metabolic health refers to how well this process is working, including how effectively your body manages blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormones.
When metabolism is not working well, it can lead to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver, and thyroid disorders. These conditions often develop gradually and may not cause obvious symptoms in the early stages, which is why routine testing can be helpful.
What is the Metabolic Check Package?
The Metabolic Check Package is an entry-level health screening panel from Lupin Diagnostics. It includes 10 tests that assess the core areas of metabolic health: blood sugar control, cholesterol, liver function, kidney function, thyroid activity, and essential vitamin and mineral levels.
This package is designed as a practical starting point for anyone who wants a clear picture of their metabolic health without booking a full comprehensive panel. Free home sample collection is available, and your digital report is delivered within 24–48 hours from NABL- and CAP-accredited Lupin Diagnostics laboratories.
What Tests Are Included in the Metabolic Check Package?
The package covers 10 tests across six health areas. The table below lists each test, what it measures, and why it is included.
| Test Name | Health Profile | Parameters Tested | Why It Is Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin) | Blood Sugar Control | HbA1c % | Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months. It is the main marker used to screen for pre-diabetes and diabetes. |
| Blood Glucose Fasting (FBS) | Blood Sugar Control | Fasting Blood Glucose | Measures your blood sugar level after fasting. Used alongside HbA1c to give a fuller picture of how your body handles glucose. |
| Cholesterol Total | Heart Health | Total Cholesterol | A first-line screen for cardiovascular risk. High cholesterol often has no symptoms, so routine testing is the main way to detect it. |
| Liver Function Test (LFT) | Liver Function | SGOT, SGPT, ALP, Bilirubin (Total, Direct, Indirect), Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G Ratio | Assesses how well the liver is working. Fatty liver is common in people with metabolic conditions and often develops without symptoms. |
| Kidney Function Test (KFT) | Kidney Function | Creatinine, Blood Urea, BUN, Uric Acid, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride | Checks how well the kidneys filter waste and maintain electrolyte balance. Kidney health can be affected by long-term high blood sugar. |
| TSH Ultrasensitive | Thyroid Health | Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) | The most sensitive first-line thyroid test. Thyroid disorders can affect weight, energy levels, and metabolism. |
| Complete Blood Count (CBC) | General Health | RBC, WBC, Platelets, Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, Differential Count | A general health screen that checks for anaemia, infection, and other blood-related conditions. |
| Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) | Nutritional Health | Vitamin B12 | Essential for nerve function and red blood cell production. Deficiency is common in vegetarians and people on long-term diabetes medication. |
| Vitamin D, 25-OH | Nutritional Health | 25-Hydroxyvitamin D | Important for bone health and immune function. Deficiency is widespread in India and is linked to metabolic conditions. |
| Magnesium | Minerals and Metabolism | Serum Magnesium | Magnesium helps the body use insulin effectively. Low levels are common in people with insulin resistance and diabetes. |
Why Consider a Metabolic Health Check?
Metabolic conditions often develop slowly and quietly. Routine screening can be helpful for the following reasons:
- Many Conditions Have No Early Symptoms
Pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver, and thyroid imbalances frequently cause no noticeable symptoms in their early stages. A blood test is often the only way to detect them. - Early Detection Allows Earlier Action
Identifying a change early gives you and your doctor more options. Many metabolic conditions respond well to lifestyle changes when addressed at an early stage. - It Helps Establish a Personal Baseline
Knowing your normal values makes it easier to spot meaningful changes at future check-ups, rather than comparing your results against general population ranges alone. - It Covers Multiple Systems in One Test
Blood sugar, cholesterol, liver, kidney, thyroid, and vitamin levels are all connected. Testing them together gives a more complete picture than testing any one in isolation. - It Supports Informed Conversations with Your Doctor
Having recent test results makes your consultation more productive, allowing your doctor to give guidance based on your actual health data.
Important: This information is for general awareness only. Whether health screening is appropriate for you depends on your individual health history and your doctor's clinical judgement. Always consult your doctor before booking any diagnostic test.
Who Is the Metabolic Check Package Suitable For?
The Metabolic Check Package may be relevant for the following groups:
- Adults aged 25 and above who want an affordable annual metabolic health check.

- Those planning lifestyle or dietary changes who want a baseline before starting.
- Vegetarians or those on long-term medication who may be at higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.
- Anyone whose doctor has recommended a basic metabolic and thyroid screening.
Note: This list is for general guidance only. Whether this package is right for you should be determined in consultation with your doctor. Please do not self-diagnose or use these tests as a substitute for professional medical advice.
