May help: It is crystallization of cholesterol and calcium salts that can result in the formation of gallbladder sludge (debris). It can grow to form gallstones. Moreover, this sludge can also lead to medical conditions like pancreatitis, gallbladder inflammation, etc. If no symptoms, no need for treatment, otherwise gallbladder removal can be considered. Low fat diet may help.
