How are you all? My liver nurse has been in touch. My bloods showed definite inflammatory markers, she thinks it's either lesions when I had my gall bladder out 32 years ago or sphincter of Oddi so I've got to have a hida scan . Thank you for all your support xxxx

Hi Lynne, I had a full abdomen CT scan with contrast, so it might have been a Hida scan, although it was not given that name. Anyway, best of luck and I will say a prayer for you and a positive result.

Thank you. I've had a CT before, nurse said a hida is different
Hida scan is similar to CT scan in terms of setup, IV line for scan medium, except it uses a radioactive dye to track bile flow etc. I had one, be prepared as I had multiple scans through the day, first one was nearly an hour then I had to come back every hour or so to have shorter scans, for one scan I had to eat something fatty, but they will tell you in the day. You aren't allowed to use the toilet in the department as it makes it radioactive!!
Thank you for the info, much appreciated
