Technetium Tc 99m disofenin/mebrofenin (applies to Hepatolite) gallbladder nonvisualization

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Pancreatitis, Liver Disease, Sepsis, Biliary Obstruction

Nonvisualization or delayed visualization of the gallbladder may occur in certain populations, including patients who have been fasting for a prolonged period or undergoing parenteral feeding; patients with chronic cholecystitis or pancreatitis; and patients with hepatocellular disease or juvenile hepatitis. Septic patients may show absent or delayed hepatobiliary clearance. Therefore, a positive finding does not, by itself, permit a differential diagnosis and should be considered in conjunction with the total clinical picture and results of other diagnostic modalities.
