Can A HIDA Scan Be False Negative As There Is Still Pain In The Right Upper Quadrant With Nausea After Eating?
I had a HIDA Scan recently and the pain and nausea was terrible after the CCK injection. My results came back as a normal gallbladder yet I still have pain in the right upper quadrant with nausea after eating. Could this be a false negative as my doctor feels it is?

Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
Yes it can. there could be stomach or pancreatic issue which wouldnt be detected by HIDA. also there can be some bowel issue . So you need more detailed gastroenteologic work up to rule these out. It includes gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Wish you good health. Regards
