A member asked:
Gallbladder inflamed and working at 29% according to hida scan. what are my options? only surgery? no gallstones.

Depends on your: Symptoms. Rarely, ultrasound fails to detect a small stone. If you are having typical gallbladder symptoms and they are severe, cholecystectomy is one option. Medical treatment is another option. Discuss with a surgeon about specific recommendation regarding your case.

Maybe, but...: Your cck-hida indicates gallbladder dysfunction, which often translates to mean a symptomatic one that warrants surgical removal. There are lots of reasons however for nausea/dyspepsia, and you may want to investigate these (or your symptoms may persist even if the gallbladder is removed, since it may turn out it wasn't the sole reason for your distress).
