An apparatus for easily and conveniently diagnosing tuberculosis including a blood collecting device is provided. The blood collecting device comprises a support part including a first surface, a second surface formed opposite to the first surface, and a communication hole through which a solution is movable. The communication hole is formed between the first surface and the second surface. A blood collecting tip is attached to the first surface and has a capillary tube connected to the communication hole. According to the present disclosure, a small amount of peripheral blood is collected using a capillary phenomenon and the collected whole blood is used as it is without separating a blood corpuscle therefrom by centrifugation and the like to diagnose tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis diagnosis method and apparatus therefor

Disclosed are: a kit and a method for diagnosing or monitoring a liver disease, comprising a detection reagent for one or more markers of cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase (cAST) and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAST) as biomarkers in a biological sample; and an antibody used for the detection. Compared to the conventional enzyme activity measurement method, the method according to the present application can more accurately measure diagnosis or prognosis of a liver disease with high sensitivity through measurement of the amount of mAST or cAST present in the biological sample, in particular, in a blood sample.
