A member asked:
The bilirubin level in my blood is very high and ive been referred for an ultrasound. but i had my gallbladder romoved years ago. any connection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound will: ...check the liver, the biliary tree, and the pancreas--pathology in any or all of these structures may cause hyperbilirubinemia even in the absence of a gallbladder.
