Abstract
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.
