Does gallbladder ejection fraction improve over time?
Can it go from 60% to 93% after a few years?
I'm confused about this and never heard about it so I'm wondering if it can improve even though having symptoms. Can this be an error? I though it goes lower instead of higher, I'm I wrong?

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your symptoms could be due to gall bladder disease. As stones are seen in the gall bladder. These stones can block the bile duct. The bile duct could also be blocked due to inflammation or due to strictures. Based on the severity of your symptoms, surgery can be planned.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
