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.
What is gallbladder sludge? The proper term for gallbladder sludge is biliary sludge. It is a gelatinous bile that may be a precursor to cholesterol stones. However, in most cases, biliary sludge does not develop into a stone and dissolves within the gallbladder or may be passed out of the gallbladder.
