How To Check For Gallbladder Dysfunction?

Hi. I had a gallbladder attack about 8 years ago and my sister who is a doctor had me get an ultrasound about 4 years ago. I was fine and she said I have gallbladder disease. It is acting up more regularly as I get older and am wondering if I should have it checked again?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You had gall bladder disease. It can be gsll stone or cholecystitis. If you want to check then go for ultrasound abdomen, serum bilirubin level, GGT, alkaline phosphatase. If all this levels come to normal then no need to worry. If any test results are altered then consult your doctor and plan accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
