Shortly on gall bladder diseases
Gall bladder is a pouch that has a role as a reservoir which collects the bile that the liver produces about 1 liter per day. This liquid, which contains bile salts, cholesterol, bilirubin, phospholipids and water, allows the digestion of fats in the small intestine. Until we eat, in the gallbladder the solution is concentrated 4-10 times and ends in the intestine when food from the stomach enters the duodenum. The activity of gallbladder particularly reacts on cream, butter, egg yolk, etc.
Most common diseases of gall bladder are stones and inflammation. Generally are associated with obesity, older age, female sex, family history, western diet, diabetes. Gall stones can cause typical gall attacks that occur after fatty meals and can lead to serious problems and can be life threatening (inflammation of the gallbladder, obstructive jaundice, pancreatitis ...), but they can also be for years without any problems.
Treatment begins with correcting the dietary habits - the so-called gall diet and because of potential complications gallbladder surgery is usually recommended. In the absence of symptoms and signs of inflammation of the gallbladder, proper nutrition is usually enough.
