What would cause pipida scan to say my gallbladder is functioning at 0% when i am only in mild discomfort? how does all of that work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biliary dyskinesia : The medical term for the gallbladder not functioning right is biliary dyskenesia. Instead of squeezing out bile to help digest food, the gallbladder spasms. The test is called a hida scan and if you gallbladder ef is less than 35% them most surgeons would recommend to have your gallbladder removed. This can be caused by chronic inflammation other not well understood causes.
