A member asked:
I had a hida scan conducted today and the tech commented about the reactor being ejected through my kidneys. what could this mean? tia.

I think she meant: Tracer being excreted from your kidneys. That's normal, as the nuclear medicine dye is excreted by the kidneys. Not sure why the tech felt the need to say it.

Your hida scan is abnormal, with a low ejection fraction and reproduction of symptoms with the cck injection. What does this mean in layman's terms?
What are worrisome side effects 12 hours after HIDA scan? The nurse didn't tell me my ejection fraction, just that the test was bad, and scheduled surgery today for 2/18 (soonest possible opening)?
