Although this syndrome has never been recognised as a factor affecting the progression of NASH, seen mostly in obese patients, it is noteworthy that ischaemic hepatitis due to obstructive sleep apnoea has been reported, 5 and that daytime impaired gas exchange causes respiratory insufficiency more frequently than the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. 4 Therefore, we show a case of NASH with Pickwickian syndrome, and suggest that hypoxaemia in the obesity-hypoventilation syndrome could be an exaggerating factor in the progression of liver fibrosis in this disorder through accelerating hepatocyte destruction since hepatocytes are very sensitive to hypoxia. A man aged 63 years with a bodymass index of 38· 0 kg/m2 complained of daytime somnolence. His diurnal partial
