SIX AREAS. ONE CONNECTED VIEW.

The essentials.
Seen together.

A defined set of laboratory measurements can make the next conversation more useful. Explore what each group contributes—and why context still matters.

Blood count — conceptual laboratory artwork21of 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.

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.

Checking a prescription?
Let’s make sure it matches.

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.

Laboratory informationClinical interpretation

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?

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.

clinician and adult patient discussing laboratory results
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.

We can help you read the options.

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.
