Ultrasound Showed Gallbladder 8mm Thick With Significant Blood Flow With Ring Tip Down. Matter Of Concern?
HEllo~
I recently had an ultrasound done that reported that my gallbladder wall was 8mm thick with "significant blood flow" as well as being ring tip down. I had an MRI done but waiting on results in which they said could be 2 weeks. I am scheduled to be in California (I live in Canada) on the 20th. I am wondering if I should be extremely concerned and cancel my trip or just relax and go on with the arrangements.

Thickened gall bladder along with increased blood flow denotes inflammation of gall bldder, if you are not having symptoms like pain in abdomen, fever or vomiting, it does not call for cause for concern. You can definitely carry on with your arranagements
