Why was I unable to complete my hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan for my gallbladder?
Well, I was told to fast and not take any medication before the scan, which I did. But when I got there, they couldn't complete the scan because apparently I have a fatty liver. What does that mean?
A fatty liver is a condition where there is an abnormal buildup of fat in the liver. This can be caused by several factors such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, or alcohol abuse. It is possible that the fatty liver was affecting the results of the scan and that is why it could not be completed.
