Question 1

pain under right ribs and in back.  normal ultrasound.1.6 bilirubin level.  stomach not tender scheduled for hida scan...could this be gallbladder?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If HIDA neg then consider ERCR by your gastroenterologist

Question 2

is hida scan of 94 % normal?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

is a 91% on hida really normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Certain institutions use different cut offs for normal but usually Gallbladder ejection fraction greater than 35% is considered normal.  People have discussed hyper dynamic gallbladder function but to my knowledge there is no upper limit of normal beyond which function is considered abnormally high.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

if hida lasts less than an hour, are results normal?

Accepted Answer

See  gb= no cholecys: It is hard to know why the study ended... Without looking at the study. If the clinical question was is there acute cholecystitis( inflammation of gallbladder), and the gallbladder was seen before an hr..Yes they might quit and it would be considered normal. However, often the dr  also asks the lab to calculate a gallbladder ejection fraction....This probably would not be finished in one hr

Question 7

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 8

gber on hida scan was 1.25% and gbep was 4 minutes. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

ER abnormal: On a HIDA scan an ejection ratio of 40% or greater is normal. ER of 1.25% is very low. This usually indicates gallbladder disease. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 9

i got a hida scan and it showed 41%. is this normal or should it be concerning?

Accepted Answer

No: It sounds like you had a CCK test with the Hida scan which is used to determine gallbladder function. The cutoff for the "ejection fraction" or the ability of the gallbladder to contract is considered to be 35%. Thus your ejection fraction, while on the low side, would still be within the range of normal.

Question 10

what is a normal % for a hida with cck scan?

Accepted Answer

35-75% normal: A hida (hipatobiliary iminodiacetic acid) scan with cck is normally done when gallbladder disease is suspected but gallstones are not present. The test is a radionuclide scan with an injection of the hormone cholecystokinin. The hida scan is used to see the gallbladder then cck is injected to make the gallbladder contract. Normal is around 35-75%.
