only test that showed something for me was my HIDA scan which showed a normal EF of 52% but i had severe biliary dyskinesia (so took my gallbladder over 2 hrs to drop down the ducts into intestines) my GI thought Gallbladder should come out, surgeon said no that he thinks it might be a problem with the ducts... they are now sending me for MRCP tomorrow... can there still be stones or something blocking the ducts even though nothing showed in previous tests?
I was then sent for a MRCP.(MRI) When i got home fridaty I had a message that the MRCP was normal and my PCP was referring me to another Doctor. I thought the other doctor was a Gastro (sp) doctor but when I looked him up he is a general surgeon. Now I cannot talk to my PCP until Monday it is driving me nuts why is she sending me to a surgeon is the MRCP was normal??? Any guesses welcome :) as I said I am driving my self nuts.
Hello, I have been experiencing upper abdominal pain that radiates to my back at times since the end of April. I had a MRI with MRCP completed in the beginning of May with blood work that came back normal. I then had an upper endoscopy that came back showing inflammation in my stomach lining and esphongaus. I was passed on poi for gastritis. At the end of May I started experiencing more pain, weight loss, lots of appetite and my stools changed.
In addition to blood work internal medicine doctor ordered Ultrasound and CT Scan, both of which were "unremarkable" (i.e. normal). He then sent me to a GI doctor who ordered more blood work, and an Endoscopy, and then subsequently a MRCP, all of which again were completely normal.
I am really worried that this was liver disease and/or acute pancreatitis.
I am a 32 year old female that has been suffering with severe nausea, upper right quadrant pain, sometimes to the back, mostly after meals, I have lost 35 lbs bringing me down to my lowest every of 110lbs I have had numerous tests, which were all normal except the HIDA scan which showed a normal EF of 56% but my gallbladder took over 2 hrs to empty into the intestine, with them saying biliary dyskinesia, the test brought on all my symptoms that brought me there, the GI I saw orginally thought Ga
I recently had a CT scan of my pelvis and abdomen due to unexplained swelling of my left leg and foot. Here are my results. I could really use some answers. Here are the areas of concern. Everything else was fine.
**Liver appears normal in size and contour. Prominence of intrahepatic ductal system is visualized of unknown etiology.
**Heterogeneous enhancing left adrenal mass measuring 1.7 x 2.7cm is identified.
**A 2.8 x 3.4cm cystic lesion visualized in the left adnexa.
GI requested several other blood work which was also normal. He then advised me to do a MRI MCRP of abdomen, this also came out normal. I do experience sort of a swelling/inflammation around my navel area, and also get gurgling sounds whenever I press around that area and release. this is not the case only after having food, but even early morning before breakfast too my stomach seems to be bloated and sense of heaviness.
t have any pain meds, AND they wanted me to drink the barium thing for my CT scan which was next. I got a little of it down, and promptly threw it back up. They decided to just take me for the scan anyway. That went really quickly and I finally got back to the room where they FINALLY gave me some more demerol. 20 minutes later I was still in pain. So they came back and gave me some dilauded. Normally dilauded knocks you out...I was in so much pain it barely did anything. So finally the Dr.
Alternatively, an MRCP (MRI scan of the bile ducts) can further determine the cause of dilated bile ducts but is of diagnostic value only.
A slightly dilated common bile duct maybe seen in individuals who have had a cholecystectomy in the past and does not warrant further investigation. All other cases of dilated bile ducts require referral to a gastroenterologist who specializes in the technique of ERCP.
I recently had an MRI with contrast on my lower lumbar spine which revealed my already dilated bile duct 9mm is now dilated to 13mm in less than two months. Its been measuring around between 9-11mm since 08. I have been feeling very nauseated for the past few months so I was wondering if the this could have anything to do with it. my liver enzymes are fine at last check. Just seems I can't eat normal, I'm nauseated atleast 3 times a week and my stomach feels very tender.
No obstruction was seen in bile ducts in Ultrasound, MRCP and CECT Scan Abdomen. However multiple calculi are seen in gallbladder. Spleenic index is 845. Hepatic portal vein is dilated to 18 mm. Liver is enlarged to 20 cc. Doctor has advised me light diet i.e. only light vegetables like turnip, pumpkin etc. He has prohibited me from pulses, lentils, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, fatty foods, spices, spinach, cereals, raddish etc. I do not feel nausea. Just itching.
Please explain, I have no idea what this means: "jection fraction can be measured via a HIDA scan with CCK stimulation" and "evaluation of the thickened gallbladder can be considered with an MRCP to evaluate the biliary ducts". In layman's terms please, what is a HIDA scan, CCK stimulation, and MRCP?
Thank you.

They would like to do a mri to see what type of cyst it is, apparently there’s a lot of different types. I have been feeling very nauseous and tired lately. Also feel I lost some weight. Can this mean it’s a cancerous cyst? Can these symptoms make you feel sick. Also my lipase levels are elivated, not sure if the pain and nausea is from the inflamed pancreas or the cyst.
