Should I Be Worried As Gall Bladder Is Physiologically Distended With Normal Wall Thickness And CBD?
The ultraspund reveals that the gall bladder is physiologically distended with normal wall thickness and CBD. At the time of referring the report i have been advised that there is nothing to worry about GB but the information available on the net is describing something all together different. Kindly advise.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
GB acts as a resorvoir of bile till it gets used for digestion. So in the fasting state, the bile stays in the GB and the GB remains distended.
So this distension of GB during fasting state is physiological/normal.
So there is no need to worry about that distension.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
