Ultrasound of gallbladder function with a choleretic breakfast
An ultrasound examination that evaluates the gallbladder's ability to contract and empty after stimulation of bile release. Unlike a standard gallbladder ultrasound, it assesses the organ's functional performance rather than its structure alone. The examination helps identify impaired gallbladder contractility, bile stasis, biliary dyskinesia, and other functional abnormalities that not detected during a conventional ultrasound examination.
When is a gallbladder function ultrasound recommended?
- pain or discomfort in the right upper abdomen
- heaviness or a feeling of fullness after eating fatty foods
- nausea, a bitter taste in the mouth, or frequent belching
- bloating or digestive problems without an obvious cause
- suspected biliary dyskinesia
- signs of bile stasis
- abnormalities detected during a standard gallbladder ultrasound
- follow-up evaluation after treatment for gallbladder or biliary tract disorders
- preparation for a consultation with a gastroenterologist or surgeon
- assessment of gallbladder function after diseases affecting the digestive system

A convenient appointment and an accurate assessment of your gallbladder's contractile function
You can book a gallbladder function ultrasound with a choleretic breakfast at Doctor Sam Medical Center online or by calling +380 97 312 92 91. During the booking process, our administrator will explain how the examination is performed and provide detailed preparation instructions.
The examination consists of several stages and takes longer than a standard gallbladder ultrasound because the physician evaluates the gallbladder both before and after stimulation of bile release. This makes it possible to assess how effectively the gallbladder contracts and whether there are signs of bile stasis or impaired biliary motility.
Immediately after the examination, you will receive a medical report that includes the measurement results and the physician's interpretation. If necessary, the specialist may recommend a consultation with a gastroenterologist, additional laboratory tests, or other diagnostic examinations to clarify the diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Doctor Sam Medical Center is conveniently located at Respublika Park Shopping Mall (1 Kiltseva Road, Kyiv).
