Specializes in Family Medicine

Biliary dyskinesia: The normal ejection fraction of the gallbladder is 33-42%. Over 73% is considered a hyperactive gallbaldder. This is an extremely rare condition. There is no supported treatment really for hyperkinesia. I would ask you to determine your symptoms presently.
