We present an obese patient with acute cholecystitis and liver cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), who was successfully managed with laparoscopic cholecystostomy and a low-carbohydrate diet with exercise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A 61-year-old woman presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Ultrasonography and computed tomography were consistent with acute cholecystitis with multiple stones and cirrhosis. The patient had no history of alcohol intake, and serologic tests were negative. The patient\u2019s body mass index was 39 kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      (154 cm, 93 kg) and NASH was suspected. Percutaneous transhepatic drainage was impossible because of the anatomic position of the gallbladder. Emergency laparoscopic cholecystostomy was performed initially for drainage. A low-carbohydrate diet and exercise were started for weight loss and her weight reduced by 19 kg over three months. Open cholecystectomy was performed uneventfully, and liver biopsy suggested NASH.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laparoscopic cholecystostomy is a reasonable temporary alternative to cholecystectomy in patients with acute cholecystitis and increased surgical risk. Weight loss with diet and exercise can be effective in patients with NASH. A low-carbohydrate diet is a reasonable treatment for NASH, because glucose is converted to triglycerides and stored as lipid in the liver.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Laparoscopic cholecystostomy was effective in this obese patient with acute cholecystitis and NASH cirrhosis.
