Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is one of the causes of nonalcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH) and a codominant disorder. Patients heterozygous for FHBL may be

cholesterol and apolipoprotein B. Here we report a nonobese 54-year-old man with
decompensated liver cirrhosis who underwent living donor liver transplantation with his son
as the donor. Low albuminemia and refractory ascites persisted after transplantation. A …
