A member asked:

Hi. can u find gallbladder disease in a normal random blood test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not specifically.: You can infer gallbladder pathology at times by relevant symptoms combined with some abnormalities in blood testing, but imaging studies are really required to make sure - ultrasound, HIDA scan, MRCP, ERCP.
