What Are Gallbladder Stones?
4. Diagnosis
Your doctor can use a variety of techniques to diagnose gallstones. He or she will likely perform a physical examination that includes checking your skin and eyes for a yellowish tint. Yellowing eyes and skin can result from jaundice, which is a condition that occurs when there is too much bilirubin in your body.
Your doctor may also use diagnostic tests to see if you have gallbladder stones in your body. These tests may include an abdominal CT scan, an ultrasound, an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a gallbladder radionuclide scan, or blood tests.
