A member asked:
Sludge was found on my gallbladder and also a stone in my bile duct. the doctor told me it is a secondary bile duct stone. does a secondary stone migrate from the liver, gallbladder or pancreas? i'm really confused on this?

They form most likely in the gall bladder or the duct. May be different in India. Ask your Dr there who cares for folks like you who live where you live

The stone had likely been originally from the gallbladder then it moved down to the common bile duct and no more stone in the gallbladder, only does sludge remain.
