Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
The normal gallbladder ejection fraction is 35% to 65%.
You have gallbladder ejection fraction above normal.
You are having hyperkinetic gallbladder.
What is causing this is not known.
If you have any right upper quadrant pain and other tests are normal, you may get benefited by getting your gallbladder removed.
Regards.
