[mrs_jtumapat]

Hi would like to seek for your help in interpeting this laboratory test result on gallstones.

Gallbladder measures 6.9 x 2.0cm. with intraluminal echoes at least 4 with average size of 0.8cm. its wall is not thickened.

I hope you can help me regarding this matter. Looking forward for your honest response.

Thank you very much and God bless.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The intraluminal echoes could indicate the presence of gall stones. The bile sludge could be due to bile stasis and sometimes infection. Bile stasis causes gall stones formation. This can in turn irritate the gall bladder wall and cause thickening, which is absent in this report. Depending on your symptoms the course of action may be planned.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
