Gallbladder Disease

Select your language:

The gallbladder is a small organ under the liver on the right side of the abdomen that stores digestive fluids called bile, responsible for breaking down the fat in digestion. Bile flows through 3 different ducts (including the bile duct) to the small intestine. Different conditions that affect the gallbladder include cancer, cholecystitis, and inflammation. Obesity and diabetes are two risk factors that affect gallbladder conditions.
