Sounds urgent to me!: If you have severe abdominal pain with abdominal fluid, nausea, vomiting and no appetite, I hope that you are in the hospital. A HIDA scan (Cholescintigraphy, hepatobiliary scintigraphy) is used to evaluate problems with your gallbladder, and evaluate the bile-excreting function of your liver, and to track the flow of bile from your liver. The HIDA scan can help determine the best treatment.

Urgency up to doctor: Hida scan tells us how well to gallbladder is functioning not structural abnormalities. As to urgency, that question would best be answered by your physician!

Yes: The wording here leaves to question if the gall bladder is surgically absent, so the answer is the same: Unless this presentation has been worked up, it is urgent to have a HIDA (cholescintigraphy) to rule out acalculous gallbladder disease, high-grade and partial biliary obstruction, or even postcholecystectomy pain syndrome, like sphincter-of-Oddi dysfunction & biliary atresia. Urgent=today.
