Billiary Dyskinesia of the Gall Bladder: Diagnosis and Treat Posted: 06-30-06 23:42pm
I had a Hida scan done. It came back w/a
98% ef & they say it contracts too hard. I
was referred to a surgeon, he said my
gallbladder has to come out. I'm scheduled
for surgery next week. Have you ever heard
of this? I've had blood work & an
abdominal ultrasound which both were
normal. My symptoms are nausea, vomiting,
URQ pain, diarrhea, fatty meals brings on
severe pain, extreme tiredness,
indigestion. I've tried Aciphex & Nexium,
neither has helped. No one I've talked to
has ever heard of this being a problem,
but my family dr & surgeon said that it
has to come out. What do you think & have
you ever heard of this? Thanks.
It seems likely that you are suffering
from billiary dyskinesia. Billiary
dyskinesia is a condition where the smooth
muscles in the wall of the gallbladder
contract either too little (weak, atonic)
or too much (strong, spastic). This
diagnosis is established when other
diseases (gall-stones, tumors etc.) are
excluded. A HIDA-scan is used to examine
the gallbladder function. Your gallbladder
is spastic. Surgical removal of the
gallbladder is efficient in more than 90%
of all cases of billiary dyskinesia.
