A member asked:
Does a gallbladder sludge indicate problem with gallbladder because my dr ordered amailase and liapase blood work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: If the common bile duct is blocked by a stone or sludge, it may affect the pancreas function and therefore these test will show if it is affected.
