A member asked:

Does having a low ejection rate on gallbladder require removal?

Dr. Peter Lydon answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Maybe: Biliary dyskinesia is a condition where the gallbladder can't empty properly and causes pain. A low ejection fraction (less than about 25%) is usually seen with this condition.
