10 Causes of Gallbladder Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #4: Biliary Sludge
Gallstones are a very solid, hardened substance that’s produced as a result of problems in the biliary tract. Biliary sludge is not as hard as a gallstone, but in a sense, they are similar.
Biliary sludge is a form of thickened bile that can build up in the gallbladder. This can inhibit the proper draining of bile and can cause a number of symptoms similar or identical to those caused by a gallstone.
