1. A method for detecting a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or evaluating seriousness thereof comprising:
(A) measuring an amount and/or activity level of IL-1 receptor antagonist in a biological specimen from a subject as a marker by immunoassay; and (B) determining if said subject has NASH or evaluating seriousness thereof by comparing the measured value of step (A) with a cut off value, wherein the cut off value is the borderline between positive and negative of a disease, and the cut off value for said IL-1 receptor antagonist is 652 pg/mL. |
