Summary:Non-invasive methods for detecting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and identifying the presence or absence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in a subject utilize one or more biomarkers. The methods can differentiate between subjects with NASH and those with simple steatosis. Kits containing one or more agents for measuring the level of the biomarkers can be utilized to perform the described methods. Les procédés non invasifs permettant de détecter une stéatose hépatique non alcoolique (NAFLD) et d'identifier la présence ou l'absence d'une stéatohépatite non alcoolique (NASH) chez un sujet utilisent un ou plusieurs biomarqueurs. Les procédés peuvent faire la différentiation entre les sujets atteints d'une NASH et ceux atteints d'une simple stéatose. Des kits contenant un ou plusieurs agents permettant de mesurer le taux des biomarqueurs peuvent être utilisés pour exécuter les procédés décrits.
