Gallbladder Dysfunction can be a possible contributing factor to the presentation of Chronic Fatigue. Chronic Fatigue is the consequence of poor energy availability, due to poor production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which happens in the mitochondria, the “energy factory” of the cell. There are multiple mechanisms by which the production of ATP can be impacted, and often in the case of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), there isn’t just one mechanism, but several, all creating the same end result. The gallbladder plays a crucial role in the digestive system and overall metabolic function and therefore could be  one of those mechanisms in some, but not necessarily all cases.
