**Definition:** A formula that estimates liver pathology through the assessment of a four-parameter blood test, taking into account subject age and sex. Hepascore = y/(1 + y) with y = exp (-4.185818 - (0.0249 x age) + (0.7464 x 1 if male, 0 if female) + (1.0039 x a2 macroglobulin) + (0.0302 x hyaluronate) + (0.0691 x bilirubin) - (0.0012 x gamma-glutamyl transferase)).
