Blood test prices in Bangalore: 2026 guide by test and area
A practical guide to blood test prices in Bangalore, including CBC, thyroid, lipid profile, HbA1c, vitamin tests and full body checkups. Prices vary by centre, so confirm the final quote before booking.
If you have ever compared blood test prices in Bangalore, you have probably noticed how wide the gap can be. The same test may cost a few hundred rupees at one neighbourhood lab and considerably more at a hospital-based centre.
The figures below are useful as a starting point, not a promise of what a particular centre will charge. Always confirm the current price with the branch you plan to use.
Common blood test prices in Bangalore
| Test | Typical range |
|---|---|
| CBC (complete blood count) | ₹150–₹500 |
| Lipid profile | ₹300–₹1,200 |
| Liver function test (LFT) | ₹400–₹1,400 |
| Kidney function test (KFT/RFT) | ₹400–₹1,500 |
| TSH | ₹150–₹500 |
| Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) | ₹400–₹1,200 |
| HbA1c | ₹300–₹900 |
| Vitamin D | ₹800–₹2,400 |
| Vitamin B12 | ₹700–₹2,000 |
| Iron studies | ₹600–₹1,800 |
| Urine routine | ₹80–₹300 |
| ESR / CRP | ₹150–₹600 |
These are indicative Bangalore market ranges. A hospital, premium locality, home collection or specialised test can push the price higher.
Why does the same blood test cost so much more at another centre?
A few things usually explain the difference.
Centre type. Hospital laboratories and large chains often have higher operating costs than small neighbourhood labs.
Location. Prices can be higher in premium commercial areas and hospital catchments.
Collection method. Home sample collection may carry a separate fee, although some centres include it above a minimum order value.
Test scope. A thyroid test could mean TSH alone or a full T3/T4/TSH profile. Make sure you are comparing the same test.
Reporting and turnaround. A faster report or a specialised assay can cost more.
Full body checkup prices
Full body packages are harder to compare because there is no standard definition of a "full body checkup". One package may contain 40 tests while another includes imaging, ECG or additional specialist markers.
As a broad Bangalore reference:
| Package | Typical range | Often includes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹999–₹1,499 | CBC, lipid, LFT, KFT, TSH, urine, fasting sugar |
| Comprehensive | ₹1,800–₹3,500 | Basic tests plus HbA1c, vitamin D, B12 and other markers |
| Executive | ₹4,500–₹9,000 | Broader blood panel with additional tests and sometimes imaging |
| Premium / cardiac | ₹9,000–₹18,000 | Cardiac tests and a wider preventive panel |
Read the test list before comparing package prices. A cheaper package is not necessarily better value if it leaves out the tests you actually need.
Do prices change by Bangalore neighbourhood?
They can. Neighbourhood labs in areas such as Jayanagar, BTM Layout, Vijayanagar and Rajajinagar may have lower prices, while hospital-based centres and premium catchments can be more expensive.
But locality alone does not tell you the final price. The branch, test method and whether the sample is collected at home can all matter.
If you need a centre close to you, browse diagnostic centres in Bangalore and compare the options by area.
How to avoid paying more than expected
Ask for the complete price before the sample is collected. Specifically check whether the quote includes home collection, consumables and any other applicable charges.
For repeat tests such as HbA1c, thyroid tests or vitamin levels, ask whether the centre offers any repeat-patient pricing. If you are doing several tests at once, ask whether a panel is cheaper than ordering each test separately.
And compare like with like. A TSH test and a full thyroid profile are different tests, even though both may be described casually as a "thyroid test."
