Gallbladder ejection fraction rate of 14.8, then 33.3, then 33.3 then 68.7 during the same test? referred to surgeon. can gallbladder be removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

68.7% EF is normal: An ejection fraction of 68.7% is normal, and as such perhaps an alternative culprit should be considered for your symptoms.
