A member asked:
What happens to bile stored by the gallbladder when the gallbladder has been proven to have an ejection fraction of 1%?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gallbladder: The gallbladder does store extra bile. Bile is usually squeezed from the gallbladder into the bile duct when one eats. An ejection fraction study is one estimate at one time showing how the gallbladder empties at that one time. Bile will still likely escape from the gallbladder when one eats, even with a very low ejection fraction. It just empties slower.

Stay in gallbladder : when gallbladder not working it becomes distended and dilated from the accumulation of bile and lack of injection and becomes painful and later infected
