Popis: Liver parenchymal diseases were statistically diagnosed by likelihood method using 12 routine liver function tests and age. 444 cases of liver diseases were classified into 8 groups by histological diagnosis. A score diagnosis table was made from the data of these cases. For the likelihood diagnosis, data of each case were adapted to the score table and the probable diagnosis was calculated. Correct diagnosis rate of the first probable diagnosis was 50 % in all cases and that of the first and the second was 71%. Descending order of the correct diagnosis rate of the first diagnosis was fatty liver (76%), liver cirrhosis (67%), slight histological changes (61%), acute hepatitis (51%), alcoholic liver injury (48%), chronic aggressive hepatitis 2A (43%), chornic persistent hepatitis (40%) and chronic aggressive hepatitis 2B (26%). In conclusion, differential diagnosis of liver parenchymal diseases was made easily with the score table of 13 informations with a considerable success.
