Frequently Asked Questions
How many tests are included in the VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package?
The VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package includes 49 laboratory tests covering blood health, glucose regulation, cholesterol, thyroid function, liver and kidney health, vitamins, minerals, viral markers, inflammation, autoimmune indicators, digestive health, and selected tumor markers.
What is a VIP medical checkup?
A VIP medical checkup is an advanced laboratory assessment that combines routine and specialized tests to provide a broader evaluation of overall health in a single package.
What makes the VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package different from standard health checkups?
The package includes several advanced laboratory tests, such as autoimmune markers, thyroid antibodies, kidney filtration assessment, nutritional markers, stool testing, and selected tumor markers that are not typically included in routine health checkups.
Who should consider the VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package?
This package may be suitable for adults seeking a more comprehensive laboratory evaluation, particularly those with chronic health conditions, a family history of disease, ongoing symptoms, or individuals who want a detailed preventive health assessment.
Does the package test for autoimmune diseases?
The package includes selected autoimmune markers, including ANA, Anti-dsDNA, Anti-CCP, and Anti-TPO. These tests may support the evaluation of autoimmune conditions but cannot confirm a diagnosis on their own.
Are tumor markers enough to diagnose cancer?
No. Tumor markers are not used alone to diagnose or rule out cancer. Their results must always be interpreted together with clinical findings and, when necessary, additional diagnostic investigations.
Is the VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package suitable for both men and women?
Yes. Most tests are included for both men and women. The package also contains PSA (Total & Free) for men and CA 15-3 and CA 125 for women.
Does the VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package require fasting?
Yes. Fasting for 8–12 hours is generally recommended because the package includes fasting blood glucose and lipid profile testing. The laboratory will provide preparation instructions before your appointment.
Do I need a doctor’s referral to book this package?
No. You can book the package directly without a doctor’s referral. However, all laboratory results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional.
Can I request home sample collection?
Yes. Al Safa Lab offers professional home sample collection for the VIP Comprehensive Checkup Package, subject to location and appointment availability.
