Ultrasound Report Showed Gall Bladder Seen In Distended State With Echofree Lumen. What Does This Indicate?

I went through a mandatory medical exam in my job 2 days back. My ultrasound report (whole abdomen) came today, almost everything is there mentioned in normal state except Gall bladder. Report says - "Gall bladder seen in distended state with echofree lumen. Wall thickness is normal". Please tell me what does it means.
Thanks

Hello,

Distention of the gallbladder may be due to gallstones. You're asymptomatic because the stones may be small.
It is not troubling now but it is not normal.
Consult your doctor.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
this is most probably normal us findings since there is no gallbladder stone so you dont have to be worried at all. distension mean that there is probbaly gallbladder filled with bile and this is normally seen. if you dont have any symptoms of gallbladder attack,you just need to do us check up every1-2 years.
Wish you good health. Regards
