Both normal values: Ruq abdominal pain can have several etiologies. Both hida results are in normal range. Musculoskeletal changes related to trauma or inflammation of ribs and muscles around chest can produce pain.Liver and bowel disease can cause RUQ pain. Sometimes right kidney or head of pancreas. You should be worked up for other causes of pain. Ultrasound and /or ct of abdomen may help define cause.

61 % is normal: 61% is still a normal value . Consequently the problem is not one of motility

See your doctor: In our lab, an ejection fraction between 35%-90 is normal. A number of things can cause nausea, weight loss and pain...Like a problem with your bowel, stomach or liver. Your doctor will need to assess these issues along with a physical exam and other tests.
