Appendix, Appendicitis, Gallbladder Disorders Answer A1014 Posted: 06-05-06 08:38am


A HIDA-scan is used for evaluation of the gallbladder's function, or to be more precise, the ejection fraction of such. A gallbladder ejection fraction less than 35% is considered abnormal. A gallbladder with such a low ejection fraction causes pain and may be removed surgically. DISCLAIMER: "Ask a Doctor" Questions are answered by Dr. Nikola Gjuzelov, General Practitioner.
