Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, a small organ near the liver that plays a part in digesting food. Normally, fluid called bile passes out of the gallbladder on its way to the small intestine. If the flow of bile is blocked, it builds up inside the gallbladder, causing swelling, pain, and possible infection.
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.
