HIDA scan can be done with or without CCK (hormone to stimulate contraction) injection, depending on your circumstances. If you have no stones and no problems showing on an HIDA scan then there are a lot of other things to look at before suspecting your gallbladder.

Low ejection fraction (30% is borderline) doesn't typically cause the classic gallbladder attack pain. It will just result in more general chronic problems, mild (sometimes more than mild!) right upper quadrant pain, nausea, diarrhoea, etc. Fatigue and weight loss are side-effects of not being able to eat a balanced healthy diet, or to digest it ... more
