A member asked:
What does moderately fluid distended gallbladder mean? noted on abdominal mri, common bile duct diameter at 6mm. & i have alot of abdominal symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As an isolated: finding it is of uncertain significance, it may mean nothing. It has to be interpreted in the context of your entire clinical picture, i.e. does your doctor suspect gallbladder dysfunction or biliary problem. Likewise, a 6mm common bile duct is borderline abnormal. If you have no signs, symptoms, or lab values suggesting biliary obstruction, it may be normal for you.
