What is a LupiKavach Fever Check 2 Test?
The LupiKavach Fever Check 2 Test is a diagnostic panel offered by Lupin Diagnostics to help identify the underlying cause of fever. It combines a urine test along with several blood tests, including a Complete Blood Count (CBC), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), into a single panel. Also known as the Fever Profile 2 or Basic Fever Panel, this test is typically prescribed by doctors for patients with unexplained or persistent fever. A urine sample and a small blood sample collected from a vein in the arm are all that is needed.
What Does a LupiKavach Fever Check 2 Test Measure?
The LupiKavach Fever Check 2 panel analyses several parameters to assess infection, inflammation and overall health to help pinpoint the cause of fever. The key components measured are listed below.
| Parameters | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Complete Urine Examination | Detects abnormal substances in urine that may indicate kidney disease, infection or other health disorders. |
| Complete Haemogram (CBC + ESR) | Evaluates blood components and inflammation levels to assess overall health and detect infections or anaemia. |
| Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) / Alanine Transaminase (ALT) | Measures enzyme levels to assess liver health and detect liver damage. |
| Peripheral Blood Smear for Malarial Parasite (PS for MP) | Detects malaria parasites in the blood and provides details about the type and severity of infection. |
| C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Quantitative | Measures inflammation levels in the body through CRP protein, a protein released by the liver; elevated levels suggest infection or inflammation |
| Dengue NS1 Antigen, Rapid | Detects dengue virus (NS1) antigen in the blood during the early acute phase of dengue infection. |
| Typhidot, IgM | Detects IgM antibodies related to typhoid fever caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. |
| Widal Test | Detects antibodies (agglutinins) against Salmonella bacteria to help identify typhoid and paratyphoid fever. |
| Dengue IgG & IgM Rapid Antibodies | Detects and differentiates IgG and IgM antibodies to identify current or past dengue infection. |
Why is a LupiKavach Fever Check 2 Test Done?
Doctors order this test when a fever cannot be explained by a straightforward clinical examination alone. The test checks for signs of infection, inflammation and blood cell changes all at once.
Common Symptoms That May Require This Test
The following symptoms are among the most common reasons a doctor may recommend the LupiKavach Fever Check 2 Test.
- Persistent or unexplained fever lasting several days
- Extreme fatigue or weakness

| RBC (Red Blood Cell Count) | 4.2 to 6.1 million cells/mcL | Abnormal RBC levels may indicate anaemia, heart disease, dehydration or iron deficiency. |
| WBC (White Blood Cell Count) | 4,500 to 11,000 cells/mcL | A low WBC count may be due to bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases or cancer. A high WBC count may indicate infection, inflammation or a reaction to medication. |
| Platelet Count | 150,000 to 450,000/mcL* | Low platelet count may increase bleeding risk, while high platelet count may be associated with clotting disorders or inflammation. |
| Hemoglobin (Hb) | Male: 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL Female: 12.1 to 15.1 gm/dL | Abnormal haemoglobin levels may indicate anaemia, heart disease, dehydration or iron deficiency. |
| Hematocrit | Male: 40.7% to 50.3% Female: 36.1% to 44.3% | Abnormal haematocrit levels may be linked to anaemia, dehydration, heart disease or blood disorders. |
| MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume) | 80 to 95 fL | Low MCV may suggest iron deficiency anaemia, while high MCV may indicate vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. |
| MCH (Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin) | 27 to 31 pg/cell | Low MCH may indicate iron deficiency anaemia, while high MCH may be associated with vitamin deficiencies. |
| MCHC | 32 to 36 gm/dL | Low MCHC may suggest anaemia, while high MCHC may occur in certain blood disorders. |
| ESR (Sedimentation Rate) | Men: 0 to 15 mm/hr Women: 0 to 20 mm/hr | High ESR may indicate inflammation, arthritis, kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, heart disease, or certain cancers. Low ESR may indicate blood disorders such as polycythaemia, sickle cell disease, leucocytosis or certain kidney and liver problems. |
Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT)/Alanine Transaminase (ALT)
| Parameters | Normal Range | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| ALT (SGPT), Serum | < 50 U/L | Normal liver enzyme level. |
| Very High ALT Level | >10 times the normal level | Usually indicates acute hepatitis caused by viral infection. |
| High ALT Level | Around 4 times the normal level | May indicate chronic hepatitis, biliary obstruction or cirrhosis. |
| ALT Higher than AST | AST/ALT ratio <1 | Commonly seen in most liver diseases. |
| AST/ALT Ratio >1 | AST higher than ALT | May indicate alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, heart injury or muscle injury. |
Peripheral Blood Smear for Malarial Parasite (PS for MP)
| Parameters | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Positive | Indicates the presence of malarial parasites in the blood smear. |
| Negative | Indicates the absence of malarial parasites in the blood smear. |
C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Quantitative
| CRP Level (mg/L) | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0.5 – 3.0 mg/L | Normal CRP level. |
| 3 – 10 mg/L | Normal or slightly elevated CRP level. |
| 10 – 100 mg/L | Moderately elevated CRP level, which may indicate systemic inflammation due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), other autoimmune diseases, heart attack, pancreatitis or bronchitis. |
| > 100 mg/L | Markedly elevated CRP level, which may indicate bacterial or viral infections, vasculitis or serious injury (trauma). |
| Higher CRP Levels | May indicate systemic inflammation associated with pre-diabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, chronic infections and increased cardiovascular disease risk. |
Dengue NS1 Antigen, Rapid
| Parameters | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Positive | Indicates the presence of the NS1 antigen in the blood sample. |
| Negative | Indicates the absence of the NS1 antigen in the blood sample. |
The NS1 antigen rapid test is recommended within the first 5 days of fever, while Dengue IgG & IgM ELISA testing is advised after 7–10 days of persistent fever.
Typhidot IgM
| Parameters | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Positive | Indicates the presence of IgM antibodies in the blood sample. |
| Negative | Indicates the absence of IgM antibodies in the blood sample. |
Widal Test
| Test Result | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Positive Test Result | Visible agglutination (clumping) at the bottom of the test tube after 18 hours indicates the presence of anti-Salmonella antibodies in the patient’s serum. |
| Antibody Titre | The titre is the highest dilution of the patient’s serum that still shows visible agglutination with the Widal antigen suspensions. |
| O Agglutination ≥ 1:80 | Suggests an active Salmonella infection. |
| H Agglutination ≥ 1:160 | Suggests an active Salmonella infection. |
| Fourfold Rise in Titres | A fourfold or greater rise in antibody titres in two blood samples collected 10 days apart confirms the diagnosis of enteric fever (typhoid/paratyphoid fever). |
| Negative Test Result | No visible agglutination (clumping) at the bottom of the test tube indicates that clinically significant levels of the corresponding antibodies are not present in the patient’s serum. |
Dengue IgG & IgM Rapid Antibodies
| Test | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Negative | Only the control line appears on the test, indicating that no detectable IgG or IgM antibodies are present. However, dengue infection cannot be completely ruled out. If symptoms persist, a repeat test with a new sample after 3–5 days is recommended. |
| Positive for IgM | Coloured bands appear at the control line and IgM test line, suggesting a primary dengue infection. |
| Positive for IgM and IgG | Coloured bands appear at the control line and both test lines, suggesting a secondary dengue infection. |
| Positive for IgG | Coloured bands appear at the control line and IgG test line, indicating a previous dengue infection. |
These ranges are general guidelines. Your doctor will interpret your results based on your age, health history and other factors. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalised medical advice.
Results During Special Conditions
Certain physiological states can shift the values seen in this panel. Your doctor will take these into account when reviewing your results.
During pregnancy, ESR naturally rises and can reach up to 70 mm/hr in the second and third trimesters, which is considered within the expected physiological range.
Haemoglobin thresholds also shift during pregnancy, with 10 g/dL often used as the lower limit to account for the body's increased blood volume.
Advancing age and anaemia can also raise ESR values in both men and women.
How to Maintain Healthy Levels
General wellness habits can support healthy levels of blood and inflammatory markers.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and stay well hydrated throughout the day.
- Maintain good personal hygiene and food safety practices to reduce the risk of common infections.
- Aim for adequate sleep and manage daily stress, as both directly influence immune function and inflammatory markers.
