Claim:
1. A microprocessor comprising a computer algorithm to perform a method of diagnosing the presence and/or severity of a liver pathology and/or of monitoring the effectiveness of a curative treatment against a liver pathology in an individual comprising: obtaining a blood test score of at least one blood test from an individual, wherein the blood test comprises obtaining a blood sample from the individual and analyzing a marker for liver pathology in the blood sample to obtain a score; obtaining a result of using at least one measuring device to practice a non-invasive physical method for diagnosing liver fibrosis, wherein the physical method is further defined as comprising medical imaging and/or clinical measurement and is further defined as elastometry; and performing a mathematical function to combine the blood test score with the result of the physical method for diagnosing liver function to obtain a second score useful for the diagnosis of the presence and/or severity of a liver pathology and/or of monitoring the effectiveness of a curative treatment against a liver pathology in the individual.
