A member asked:
I might have gallbladder disease. i had an attack would it show that my gallbladder is diseased?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The usual test for gallbladder problems is an ultrasound. That will show the stones and thickening of the gallbladder wall with a severe attack. Milder attacks might not have thickening but another test called a hida scan will show if the gallbladder is working properly.
