How can a doctor test the function of your gallbladder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIDA and sono: A sonogram evaluates the organ for stones and thickness. The hida scan, a radionuclide test that evaluates the gall bladder for inflammation, and for emptying abilities of the gallbladder. Good luck.
