Key Clinical Message We report a case of non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis complicated with acute pancreatitis induced by hypertriglyceridemia in a young Japanese woman. A precise examination of the lipid profile showed decreased lipoprotein lipase ( LPL ) and hepatic triglyceride lipase activity levels, while the LPL mass was at the minimum level of the normal range.
