What Could Be The Cause Of An Abnormal Hida Scan Done In Liver To Small Intestine?
I had an abnormal hida scan. Doctor said the tracer went from my liver to my small intestine and then to my gallbladder and was slow. I had nash a few years ago but i lost some weight and all liver function tests are normal with exception of bilirubin which is 1.2 ( range .3 to 1.0). What is going on?

Hi and welcome to HCM
Thanks for the query.
Well nothing serious is going on,thiis just abnormal hida scan which is seen commonly and it indiactes that there is some gallbladder functional problem. It can be symptomatic if you have pain after meal and abdominal cramps. or it can be asymptomatic and then it doesnt require any treatment. Treatment is surgical cholecystectomy.
Wish you good health. Regards
