Quick answer
The Children's Health Checkup Package costs ₹2,399 and covers 7 tests (44 parameters). A 7-test checkup for school-age children: blood count, iron stores (ferritin), vitamin D, calcium, TSH, urine and stool. None of the tests needs fasting. Reports are usually ready within 24 hours. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
Parents usually come to a checkup with a worry, not a diagnosis: a child who looks pale, tires quickly, is a fussy eater, keeps falling ill or is not gaining weight. This 7-test package is for school-age children, and the question it answers is simple: is a nutrition gap or a common hidden problem holding my child back?
CBC shows anaemia and signs of infection, and ferritin shows whether iron stores are running low, which can affect energy and concentration well before haemoglobin falls. Vitamin D and calcium relate to growing bones. TSH screens the thyroid, which plays a part in growth and learning. The urine and stool tests look for a hidden urine infection, worms and other gut problems.
Adult tests such as the lipid profile and HbA1c are left out on purpose, because most healthy children do not need them unless a doctor asks. Normal values change as a child grows, so adult charts do not apply. Please have a paediatrician read the report. For babies, toddlers or children with a long-term illness, ask the paediatrician which tests to do first.

Children's Health Checkup – FAQs
What is the price of the Children's Health Checkup Package?
₹2,399 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Children's Health Checkup?
7 tests: CBC Test (Complete Blood Count), Serum Ferritin Test, Vitamin D Test (25-Hydroxy Vitamin D), Serum Calcium Test (Total Calcium), TSH Test, Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test), Stool Routine Test.
Is fasting required for the Children's Health Checkup?
No. None of the tests in this package needs fasting.
How is this different from the Anaemia Profile?
This package is a broad look at a growing child, covering blood count, iron stores, bones, thyroid, urine and stool. The Anaemia Profile is narrower and goes deeper into why haemoglobin is low, with vitamin B12, folic acid and a reticulocyte count. A paediatrician can guide you on which to use.
From what age is this checkup suitable?
It is planned mainly for school-age children, about five years and above. Younger children can have these tests too, but a paediatrician should decide which ones are really needed, because small children give smaller blood samples and their results need careful reading.
Why are cholesterol and diabetes tests left out?
Most healthy children do not need them. A doctor may advise them if your child is overweight, passes a lot of urine, is very thirsty, or has a parent with very high cholesterol or early heart disease. They can be added as separate tests.
My child has a fever right now. Is this the right test?
No. This package is meant for a child who is otherwise stable. A child with fever should see a doctor, who may ask for a fever panel. A very drowsy child, a child with trouble breathing, or a child having a seizure needs emergency care at once.
