Hello,

I will write the whole in simple words. Fasting conditions make gall bladder distended. Two stones have an ultrasound shadow visible on their back(proving the fact that they are stones).

Largest stone out of these 2 is 1.1cm. The gall bladder wall is thickened in certain conditions like blockage of the outlet. No signs of infection are noted in gall bladder.

The left kidney has a stone that is not blocking the outflow of urine from that kidney. For kidneys stone, just an increased amount of fluid intake will resolve it slowly or it will slip down and come out.

For gall bladder stones, if there are no symptoms like pain in the right upper abdomen, they do not need to be operated. (That's the rule).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
