If the patient is suffering from gallbladder atrophy, it should be analyzed in combination with the actual situation.

Is gallbladder atrophy serious?

Gallbladder atrophy is the reduction of gallbladder volume found in imaging examination. The cause of this phenomenon may be related to chronic cholecystitis, gallstones, improper diet, etc. If the primary cause of the patient is mild, the degree of gallbladder atrophy is small, and bile can be secreted normally without complications, the situation is generally not serious. However, if the primary cause of the patient is difficult to control or the gallbladder atrophy is large, the bile secretion function declines, or the complications such as cholelithiasis and biliary obstruction are formed, the situation is relatively serious.
