What Does "Gallbladder Emptying Into Liver Instead Of Duodenum" Suggest?
I have constant nausea and vomiting and it has been going on now for a month.I cannot eat without getting sick. I had an ultrasound of my gallbladder done and it was normal. I just had a HIDA scan done today and from what the guy says my gallbladder is empyting into my liver instead of going into my duodenum. It showed when he inserted the cck into my IV. My gallbladder was full and in a period of 30 minutes the cck poured into my liver and my gallbladder was shrunk. What could this possibly be??

Hi & Welcome.
Incomplete data: age, gender, any other lab tests done?
It is suggestive of 'functional gall bladder disorder'.
It is due to biliary pain resulting from a primary gallbladder motility disturbance in the absence of gallstones, sludge, microlithiasis (small gall stones) or inflammation of the gall bladder itself.
You need to consult a physician to rule out ischemic heart disease, acid peptic disease or functional dyspepsia by appropriate tests like ECG, Endoscopic examination of stomach, etc.
If the above conditions are ruled out and if you have persistent symptoms o nausea & vomiting cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gall bladder) would be the most effective treatment to get rid off your symptoms.
Hope the advice given above would be beneficial to you.
