What tests are run on gallbladders to check for problems?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ultrasound: A physical examination with your doctor and review of your symptoms, blood tests, and gallbladder ultrasound would be the most common first steps to evaluate your gallbladder. Futher tests could be nuclear medicine hida scan. Ct scan often not that helpful for gallbladder.
