Zusammenfassung:Provided is a noninvasive method for determining the presence of a symptom of a hepatic disease such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with a higher diagnostic accuracy. A method for discriminate between nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the method comprising: (1) a step of measuring the quantities of marker molecules contained in blood collected from a subject; (2) a step of determining an index value from a normalized score calculated based on the quantities of the marker molecules belonging to the same group; and (3) a step of determining that the subject is possibly affected with NASH in the case that the index value is larger than a reference value.
