Biliary sludge usually causes no symptoms and may appear and disappear over time. However, there may be intermittent symptoms and, on occasion, the particles may grow in size and become gallstones. The most common symptom of biliary sludge is pain in the abdomen, often associated with nausea and vomiting. This occurs when the particles obstruct the ducts leading from the gallbladder to the intestine.
Patients with symptoms of gallbladder disease need to be treated. The most common symptom is biliary colic or a gallbladder attack, which is pressure or pain usually caused by stones pressing on the gallbladder sphincter as the gallbladder contracts in response to a fatty meal. The pain is usually constant despite the name colic.
