A member asked:

Dense adhesions between the abdominal wall and gallbladder. us; distal dilation of cbd 7.7mm, no stones. 52, female, what does this mean for me?

Need more info: If you were having abdominal pain prompting the ultrasound, it could be "sludge" obstructing the common bile duct. This may not be seen as a stone on the ultrasound but may cause the same type of blockage. You need an MRCP (MRI of the biliary tree) to evaluate the common bile duct. If this shows a blockage you will need ERCP (a procedure done by a gastroenterologist) to clear the stones or sludge
