Did You Know!
Some People Are Born Without a Gallbladder — and Never Know It
- Roughly 1 in 6,000 people are born without a gallbladder, a rare condition called gallbladder agenesis.
- Many never realize it because the liver and bile ducts can compensate for the missing organ.
- It’s usually discovered by accident during surgery or imaging for unrelated issues.
Why it’s fascinating:
Most people think the gallbladder is essential, but some live their entire lives without one — completely unaware!
