Question 1

i still have continued abdominal pain, after an endoscopy revealed gastritis and a hiatal hernia. i've also had a hida scan that had normal results. thursday i have a gastric study. i take prilosec and carafate daily. what can i expect my gastro doc to do

Accepted Answer

Abdominal Pain: What your GI doc will do obviously depends on what your study shows. They likely will discuss the results with you. They probably will recommend starting a medication...Perhaps a medicine to reduce acid, maybe one to treat gastroparesis. Everything depends on this latest test result.

Question 2

ultrasound & hida scan results are normal but classic gallbladder issue signs persist. could there still be a problem w/ gb....any tests left to try?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A cck hida scan is just what the radiologist ordered.  Seriously, the amount the gallbladder contracts under stimulation will tell if a non- functioning or poorly functioning is behind the symptoms.

Question 3

what does normal low results mean on a hida scan?

Accepted Answer

Still normal range: Low normal means the results are still in the normal range, but tend to fall near the lower end of  a normal curve.

Question 4

what about a result of 95%?  for hida scan  is this still normal?

Accepted Answer

HIDA scan: If you are describing the fraction of gallbladder emptying, 95% is fine.  there may be other causes for pain in the upper right abdomen.

Question 5

results were normal from an ultrasound and hida scan, what else can i do to figure out what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

More info: You need to provide more information to make a proper comment. What are the symptoms for which they ordered the hida and us? Labs?

Question 6

i just had my hida scan results come back. the percentage is 76%, is this normal or is that considered an over active gallbladder?

Accepted Answer

Normal: That is totally normal. There is no such thing as an overactive gallbladder

Question 7

my hida scan results show 30% functioning and i was told it was not within the normal range yesterday after the scan. my doc. np says this is normal?

Accepted Answer

Borderline result?: Surgeons may consider cholecystectomy appropriate to your symptom presentation and database (lab results, other x-rays, exam). Certainly if your liver tests are abnormal further liver/biliary testing will likely be recommended. See your doctor who can direct you to the next appropriate test.

Question 8

when given cck during hida scan got very sick with some cramps.results were 30percent function of gb. my gb us was normal.should i have gb taken out?

Accepted Answer

A tough question...: Cck (cholecystokinin) is a hormone that makes the gall bladder contract - so you have to wonder if the process of the gall bladder emptying has been giving you symptoms. That said - and even with a low gb ejection fraction - it is still possible that it may not be your gall bladder that's giving you symptoms. You may have it removed and still have symptoms. Talk to your surgeon about this. Lgromko.

Question 9

i had a hida scan done result ejection fraction of 35%  i am diabetic pain is worse since test and blood sugars are high is this normal?

Accepted Answer

HIDA: Cck administration for calculation of gallbladder ejection fraction can cause abdominal pain and cramping when administered.  In addition, stressful situations can adversely affect your glucose levels.  Gallbladder ejection fraction of 35% is borderline low and could be causing your abdominal symptoms.  Many places use 35% as the cutoff for normal gallbladder ejection fraction.

Question 10

i went into hida scan while in pain. the test seemed to have aggravated my syptoms. the results however were normal. do i need a gall bladder removal?

Accepted Answer

Depends : It depends on the technique. If the cck was injected over a short period of time, then your pain may be from the injection, not your gallbladder. There is some, but very limited evidence, that pain with a slow injection of cck indicates that a person will improve with cholecystectomy. Most evidence is that pain during a hida scan does not mean you have a sick gallbladder. Talk with your surgeon.
