Provided is a non-invasive and simple method for examining the extent of liver fibrosis with high diagnostic efficiency, and also provided is a test reagent. It is clarified that it is possible to diagnose the extent of liver fibrosis by assaying autotaxin included in a sample, and diagnosis with higher precision is possible by further combination with an existing fibrosis marker.
