Disclosed is a method for diagnosing whether a subject suffers from a mild or severe form of liver cirrhosis based on determining the amount of GDF-15 (growth differentiation factor 15), PlGF (placental growth factor), and/or hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in a sample from the subject and comparing the thus determined amount(s) with a reference amount (reference amounts). The method may further include determining the amount of adiponectin in a sample from the subject, and comparing the amount to a reference amount for adiponectin. Also described is a method to identifying a subject being susceptible to liver transplantation including determining the amount of GDF-15, PlGF, and/or HGF in a sample from the subject and comparing the thus determined amount(s) with a reference amount (reference amounts).
