What complications could arise from keeping a low functioning gallbladder with no stones?

Dr. Andrew Hoffman answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Gallbladder pain: Pain, nausea, bloating and symptoms typical of a blocked gallbladder may result from biliary dyskinesia. Literally- the gallbladder doesn't move (empty) properly. If you have known low ejection fraction and develop symptoms, see a surgeon to discuss removal.
