What Is The Treatment For Gall Bladder Working At 19%?
yes, my daughter has been having problems and doctor said was not gall bladder, but they finally did a hida scan and it showed that her gall bladder was only working at 19%. he sent her to a surgeon and he said these scans were not 100% sure. Can you tell me if they are or not

Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The EF of gallbladder in HIDA scan should be at least 35%.
If it is less than that and symptomatic, then gallbladder has to be removed.
HIDA is a good test only to assess the function of gallbladder.
Regards.
