K82.4: Cholesterolosis of gallbladder
Fats have been deposited in the wall of your gallbladder.
The gallbladder is in the top right part of the abdomen below the liver. The liver produces bile. The bile flows through bile ducts to the gallbladder and is stored there. When needed, the bile flows through another bile duct to the intestine. There, the bile helps to digest fats.
Fats have been deposited in the wall of your gallbladder. As a result, the inner wall of the gallbladder may have small yellow spots. This change is harmless.
