We report a case of a woman with primary hypertriglyceridemia caused by acquired glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high-density lipoprotein binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) autoantibody. This case highlights the necessity of detecting GPIHBP1 autoantibody in patients with acquired hypertriglyceridemia. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
