Gallbladder disease. Introduction. The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates bile produced in the liver. Bile aids in the digestion of fats, and is released from the gallbladder into the upper small intestine (duodenum) in response to food, especially fats. Types of gallbladder disease include: Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) Cholelithiasis (gallstones)
