The gallbladder is a small organ in the digestive system that stores bile, while assists in breaking down fat in our food. Sometimes it can become diseased and issues can develop: gallstones (hardened stones that form in the gallbladder), acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), gallstone pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas caused by gallstones) and cholangitis (inflammation of the bile duct). In some cases, polyps and cancer can occur in the gallbladder. Dr. Malik will also discuss criteria for diagnosing and managing functional gallbladder disease in adults.
