Question 1

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 2

during a hida scan, what is a normal gallbladder ejection fraction?

Accepted Answer

>35 %: A normal gallbladder ejection fraction is usually over 35%. Anything less than this would be considered dysfunction of the gallbladder or biliary dyskinesia.

Question 3

what happens during a hida scan?

Accepted Answer

See below: A radioactive tracer is injected into your veins. This is taken up by the liver and excreted in bile. It can then be followed using a camera to see that it empties into your intestine. If you have a gallbladder one can see if it functions properly too.

Question 4

is hida scan of 94 % normal?

Accepted Answer

EF&gt;35% normal: A gallbladder ejection fraction of greater than 35% is considered normal.

Question 5

what is observed during a hida scan?

Accepted Answer

One/ two phase exam: Hida scan is usually two part examination.First phase intravenous injection of isotope with technetium accumulating in liver, excreted like bile into bile ducts, accumulating in gall bladder, and excreted into bowel.Second phase slow intravenous injection of cck, hormone, causing gb contraction determing gb ejection fraction.Sometimes discomfort mimicing abdominal symptoms.Looking for gb disease,

Question 6

what should i expect during a hida scan?

Accepted Answer

HIDA scan: You'll change into a gown and will lay on the nuclear medicine scanner bed. A medication (radioactive tracer) is then injected into a vein in your arm (you may feel some pressure). The gamma camera passes back and forth over your belly and takes pictures for about an hour. Sometimes, more pictures may be needed. In most cases you can go about your day after your hida scan.

Question 7

still having pain after hida scan is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Pain at the: injection site or abdominal pain?  A standard HIDA scan should not induce abdominal pain.  If you also received a CCK injection to check the gallbladder ejection fraction, however, it could cause temporary pain.

Question 8

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 9

can you tell me what is expected during a hida scan?

Accepted Answer

HIDA: Hida scan involves IV injection of a tc tracer.  The tracer doesn't cause any side effects.  Physicians look to be sure that the gallbladder and bowel fill with tracer to rule out cystic duct (cholecystitis) or common bile duct obstruction.  Hida  is  performed with or without cck. Cck is helpful for chronic conditions to determine a gallbladder ejection fraction.   Cck may cause cramping or pain.

Question 10

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.
