Can you get gallstones with no gallbladder?

Answer 1

You can still get gallstones, although they are less common after the removal of the gallbladder. Gallstones are caused by too much cholesterol or calcium in the bile your liver produces, which then can crystalize. Normally if they crystalize it happens in the gallbladder, but it could still happen in the ducts that connect your liver and your stomach.

Answer 2

No , but check with your doctor if you are having pain or digestive difficulties , please.

WRONG... YOU CAN... Gallstones can form in the bile duct, a condition called choledocholithiasis. If not treated, these stones can move and block the pancreatic duct.

Answer 3

Absolutely. Cholangitis can be caused by an infection, bile blockage, or both. Even without a gallbladder, a person is still capable of developing small bile "stones" within the liver as bile pools and hardens due to poor flow. Persons who are post liver transplant may develop cholangitis as bacteria at the junction of the small intestine and new primary bile duct connection drifts from the intestine into the liver. Keep in mind that there is no longer a sphincter located at that junction.

Answer 4

Yes, you can get of gallstone if you have no gallbladder. Between 3% and 4% of people without a gallbladder get gallstones. Sometimes a stone is left behind and other times bile produced by the liver forms the stones.

Answer 5

You cannot get gallstones if you do not have a gallbladder. You can get kidney stones that are much like gallbladder stones.

Answer 6

can you still have symptoms of gall bladder attack without a gall bladder

Answer 7

Yes they can. The gallbladder is simply a storage 'pouch' where bile is kept to aid digestion. The body will still produce bile - it just won't be stored.
