title: [Discovery of novel blood markers for liver diseases].
abstract: We have recently discovered three novel blood markers for liver diseases; one for predicting hepatocarcinogenesis, the second for predicting liver cirrhosis and the third for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma. In this review, the usefulness of these markers is summarized.
