Quick answer
The Pre-Surgery Health Checkup Package costs ₹3,149 and covers 13 tests (60 parameters). A 13-test pre-operative panel: blood count, blood group, clotting (PT and aPTT), sugar, kidney, liver, electrolytes, urine, and hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV screening. None of the tests needs fasting. Reports are usually ready the same day.
Before an operation, your surgeon and anaesthetist need to know how well your blood clots, how your kidneys and liver will handle medicines, whether your sugar is under control, and whether any infection calls for extra precautions. This 13-test package brings those common checks together for adults with a planned surgery. It answers: is there anything in my blood that could make surgery or anaesthesia less safe?
CBC shows anaemia, infection and platelets. PT and aPTT measure clotting. Blood group is on record in case a transfusion is needed. Random sugar and HbA1c show both today's level and recent control, which matters because poor control can slow healing. Creatinine, electrolytes and the liver test help the anaesthetist choose drugs and doses. HBsAg, anti-HCV and HIV screening help the hospital plan the right precautions.
Every hospital has its own list, and your surgeon's list always comes first, so please compare it with this one before booking. Bleeding time and clotting time (BT CT) need a timed skin prick at a centre, so they are left out of this package and can be booked separately.

How to prepare
- 1 No fasting is needed for these tests. This is separate from the fasting your hospital will ask for before the operation.
- 2 Compare your surgeon's test list with this package before booking.
- 3 Tell our staff about blood thinners such as aspirin or warfarin, as they change clotting results. Only your doctor should decide whether to pause them.
- 4 Ask your hospital how recent the reports must be, and book inside that window.
- 5 Collect a mid-stream urine sample in the container provided.

Pre-Surgery Checkup – FAQs
What is the price of the Pre-Surgery Health Checkup Package?
₹3,149 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Pre-Surgery Checkup?
13 tests: CBC Test (Complete Blood Count), Blood Group & Rh Typing Test, Prothrombin Time (PT/INR) Test, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) Test, Random Blood Sugar Test (RBS), HbA1c Test (Glycated Haemoglobin), Serum Creatinine Test, Serum Electrolytes Test (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride), Liver Function Test (LFT), HBsAg Test (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen) – Rapid, Anti-HCV Test (Hepatitis C Antibody) – Rapid, HIV 1 & 2 Antibody Test – Rapid, Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test).
Is fasting required for the Pre-Surgery Checkup?
No. None of the tests in this package needs fasting.
Can the Executive Master Health Checkup replace pre-surgery tests?
The Executive Master Health Checkup is a yearly health screen with vitamins, thyroid and cholesterol, and it needs fasting. This package is for surgery. It adds clotting tests and blood group, and leaves out vitamins and thyroid. Most hospitals ask for these tests before an operation.
Why do I need HIV and hepatitis tests before surgery?
Hospitals commonly ask for these tests so that they can plan safe handling of blood and instruments. They are also a chance to find a silent infection that needs treatment. Your results are confidential and are shared only with you or someone you authorise.
How long will these reports stay valid for my surgery?
Each hospital sets its own rule, and the time limit can be short if your health has changed or the operation is major. Ask the surgical team before booking. A long gap may mean repeating some tests, so try not to test too far ahead.
My surgeon also wants an ECG or BT CT. Are they included?
No. BT CT needs a timed skin prick, so it is done at a centre and booked separately. An ECG is not part of this package either, though the Portable ECG at home can be booked as its own service. A chest X-ray, if asked for, is arranged separately.
