How to know if i have gallbladder inflammation, or gallstones, how much is it even functioning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See physician: Physical eamination and certain blood tests to begin with. If symptoms felt related to gall bladder, ultrasound exam is performed to see if stones or sludge is present. Then a nuclear hida scan may be perfomred to test function of gall bladder. This involves intravenous injection of isotope for visualization of gb and bile ducts. CCK is hormone given intravenously to assess contraction of gb.
