How long does it take to get your gallbladder to contract normally after bein. npo on tpn for 5 months ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to know: There is not much in the literature regarding gallbladder function after prolongue NPO, but there is a test that can evaluate the function of the gallbladder in percentage called HIDA scan with CCK. But you will need an ultrasound before to make sure you don't have gallstones. Any value above 35% is normal function.
