Treatment

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

The combination of X-ray and the use of an endoscope to treat problems in the liver, pancreas, bile ducts, and gallbladder.

Surgery

Causes

When the gallbladder does not empty, it might produce extremely concentrated bile.

When the bile contains too much bilirubin, blood disorders, liver disease, or an infection are possible.

Bile is used to dissolve cholesterol. However, if it is unable to do so, the extra cholesterol might build up and form stones in your gallbladder

Condition description

A hormone released by fat in diet stimulates the gallbladder to constrict, releasing bile into the intestine.

Gallstones are hard, pebble-like materials that start developing in the gallbladder. As the gallstones increase, the gallbladder turns into a stone-like material.

Definitions

Endoscope

A long, flexible, lighted tube to diagnose and treat organs and structures inside the body.

Cholesterol

Fat is made in the liver and can be found in blood, as well as all cells of the body.

bilirubin

Yellowish pigment that is made during the breakdown of red blood cells. Passes through the liver, and is eventually excreted out of the body.

Gallbladder

The gallbladder is part of the digestive system Located under the liver.

Bile

Fluid is made by the liver which has a role to help with digestion. It breaks down fat and is stored in the gallbladder
