A member asked:

Can you still have stones if ct and ultrasound didn't didn't show any in the gallbladder? mine is functioning at 9%.. is pain the same?

No...: Dysfunctional gallbladder, or biliary dyskinesia, can mimic gallstone disease. Us is very accurate for gallstones and a negative study indicates there are no stones. Sounds like you may need to see a surgeon to have your gallbladder removed. Good luck!

Biliary Dyskinesia: Ct is not the best study for detecting gallstones. Even an ultrasound, which is the best non-invasive study for detecting gallstones, can sometimes miss stones which are impacted in the neck of the gallbladder. A gallbladder ejection fraction of 9% is abnormal (normal is 35% and greater). It is likely that your symptoms are from gallbladder dysfunction.
