A defined set of laboratory measurements can make the next conversation more useful. Explore what each group contributes—and why context still matters.
21of 63 biomarkers
One panel · 21 reported measurements
The cells that carry, protect and repair.
The complete blood count (CBC) looks at red cells, white cells, haemoglobin and platelets. Together, these measurements can help your clinician assess concerns such as anaemia and understand findings that may need further investigation.
What this means in context
A blood count is interpreted alongside your symptoms, history and other results. It does not identify the cause of every change.
10of 63 biomarkers
Enzymes · bilirubin · proteins
Different markers. A connected picture.
Liver enzymes, bilirubin and blood proteins provide different kinds of information. Reading ALT, AST, ALP and GGT with bilirubin, albumin, globulin and total protein helps put a single result into a wider context.
What this means in context
A raised enzyme does not establish a diagnosis on its own. Medicines, alcohol, symptoms and previous results are part of the clinical conversation.
5of 63 biomarkers
Creatinine · eGFR · BUN · uric acid · calcium
A closer look at filtration and balance.
Creatinine and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) help assess kidney filtration. Blood urea nitrogen, uric acid and calcium add complementary information about blood chemistry.
What this means in context
eGFR is an estimate. Your clinician considers trends, hydration, medicines and urine findings before deciding whether a result needs follow-up.
5of 63 biomarkers
Five lipid measurements
Understand the pattern, not one number.
Total cholesterol, HDL, directly measured LDL, VLDL and triglycerides describe different parts of your lipid profile. These results support a cardiovascular risk discussion rather than a conclusion based on total cholesterol alone.
What this means in context
Risk also depends on factors such as blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, age and family history. A laboratory result is one part of that assessment.
1of 63 biomarkers
Fasting glucose · one measurement
Blood sugar, at a defined moment.
Fasting blood glucose measures the glucose in your blood after the instructed period without food. It can help assess blood sugar regulation when interpreted with your health history and the circumstances of the sample.
What this means in context
This package includes fasting glucose, not HbA1c or insulin. An unexpected result may need repeat or additional testing; your clinician decides the next step.
21of 63 biomarkers
One panel · 21 reported measurements
A second sample. Another perspective.
Routine urine analysis examines the physical, chemical and microscopic characteristics of urine. It adds information that a blood sample alone cannot provide, including findings involving protein, glucose, blood and cells.
What this means in context
Collection quality matters. A routine urinalysis is not the same as a urine culture, and the result alone does not confirm every urinary infection.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.
63 biomarkers. Every included test, here.
A panel can report several measurements. The CBC contributes 21 and urine analysis 21; the other 21 entries are individual measurements. The list below reflects the actual package membership.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
A useful package. A personal decision.
This checkup brings a defined set of core tests together. It is most useful when the choice of tests and the interpretation fit your circumstances.
01
Starting a health conversation
You want to understand what this defined set of core tests covers before speaking with a clinician about your health. A package can organise the tests; it cannot replace an individual assessment.
02
Following an agreed plan
Your clinician has recommended several of these tests. Compare the prescription with the full included list so that a required investigation is not missed.
03
Looking at a previous result
You have earlier results to discuss. Consistent preparation and clinical context help your clinician decide which changes matter and whether the same tests should be repeated.
MAKE THE SAMPLE COUNT.
A little preparation. A more useful result.
For this package, plan the blood and urine samples together. Confirm the instructions that apply to you before the appointment.

PREPARATION + RESULT
First, understand the conditions of the test.
The fasting duration and the timing of the sample matter. Tell your clinician if you could not follow the preparation instructions, were unwell or take medicines that may affect the result.
Questions to take to your clinician
Was the sample taken after the instructed fast?
Does this fit my previous results and symptoms?
Would a repeat or a different test add useful information?

MEASUREMENTS + CONTEXT
Connect the number with the person.
Haemoglobin, red-cell measurements, white cells and platelets are read together. Your clinician may recommend a more specific investigation when a pattern needs explanation.
Questions to take to your clinician
Which blood-count measurements are relevant to me?
Could recent illness or a medicine affect this finding?
Is a targeted follow-up test needed?
THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Bring the findings back to you.
A laboratory report becomes more useful when it is read alongside the reason for testing, your history and what has changed.
01
Look at the full picture.
Share your symptoms, medicines, supplements and previous reports. Results that are slightly outside a range may mean different things for different people.
02
Ask what needs follow-up.
Your clinician can explain whether a finding needs a repeat sample, another test, an examination or a change in the agreed care plan.
03
Keep your results connected.
Save the report and the clinical advice together. When comparing results over time, consider differences in preparation, laboratory methods and reference intervals.
Precision in the process. People behind the result.
Intelligent Care brings the collection to you. Intel Lab brings the laboratory pathway, from sample handling to reporting.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
A little more clarity.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
What is included in the Basic Health Checkup?
The package includes 23 named tests and panels covering 63 reported biomarkers: a complete blood count, liver enzymes and proteins, kidney markers and blood chemistry, five lipid measurements, fasting glucose and urine analysis. The full list is searchable on this page.
Why are there 23 entries but 63 biomarkers?
Some entries are panels containing several reported measurements. The complete blood count contributes 21 and urine analysis contributes 21; the remaining 21 entries are individual measurements. Together these make the published total of 63.
How much is the Basic Health Checkup in Dubai?
The current package price is AED 199. Its collection visit is included whether you choose home collection in Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any additional investigations are priced separately.
Do I need to fast?
The package instructions specify an 8–12-hour fast, with plain water allowed. Ask the team to confirm what applies to you, especially if you have diabetes, are pregnant, take regular medicines or have difficulty fasting. Do not change prescribed medicines without clinical advice.
Which samples are needed?
Blood and urine are required. The team explains the blood collection and supplies instructions for the urine sample. Follow the specified container, timing and collection method.
Can you collect the samples at my home?
Yes. Choose home collection in Dubai during checkout, or select a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. The care team confirms the appointment and preparation arrangements. This package waives the collection fee for its visit.
When will I receive the results?
The package lists a turnaround of 24 hours, typically after the samples reach the laboratory. Confirm the expected timing with the team; sample quality, repeat analysis or further checks can affect reporting.
Are thyroid, vitamins or HbA1c included?
No. Thyroid tests, vitamin D, vitamin B12, HbA1c and insulin are not in this Basic package. It includes fasting glucose. Check the included list against your prescription or discuss a suitable alternative.
Does urine analysis include a urine culture?
No. Routine urine analysis and urine culture are different investigations. The Basic package includes urine analysis; a culture is a separate test when clinically appropriate.
Can the package diagnose a condition on its own?
No. Laboratory findings contribute to assessment, but they must be interpreted with symptoms, history, examination and sometimes other investigations. An abnormal result is not a diagnosis by itself, and a normal result does not exclude every condition.
Should I repeat this checkup every year?
There is no single interval suitable for everyone. Your clinician can advise when to repeat particular tests or a checkup based on your health, risk factors, medicines and previous results.
Can I book for someone else?
Yes. Add the package to the shared care bag and assign it to the appropriate person during checkout. For a child, retain the guardian details and confirm age-appropriate suitability and preparation with the clinical team.
