Abstract: Methods for diagnosing pathology of the liver in a subject suspected of having such pathology are disclosed. The methods comprise quantifiably detecting glycosylation, and more specifically fucosylation, on proteins in biological fluids, and comparing the detected glycosylation with reference values for the glycosylation of such proteins in healthy or disease states.
