Is Hida Scan Done Only When Gallbladder Is Not Functioning ?
I had a Hida scan where the nuclear tracer stayed in my gallbladder and didn't release into my intestines. I have upper right quadrant pressure and extremes nausea. Does the Hida scan mean my gallbladder is not functioning ? I have all the symptoms associated with biliary dyskinesia.....no stones have been detected.
