Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HIDA scan is a radioactive imaging procedure that specifically tracks the production and flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestine.

Answer: D
 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that uses an endoscope and contrast dye to examine the bile and pancreatic ducts.

Answer: E
 Liver biopsy is a procedure where a small sample of liver tissue is removed for further examination and diagnosis.

Answer: I
 Serum bilirubin is a blood test that measures the level of bilirubin, a waste product produced by the liver when it breaks down red blood cells. High levels of bilirubin can indicate liver or bile duct problems.

Answer: J
 Stool culture is a lab test that examines a stool sample for the presence of bacteria or parasites that may be causing digestive symptoms.

Answer: K
 Stool guaiac (Hemoccult) is a screening test for the presence of blood in the stool, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding.

Note: The other procedures/tests listed do not specifically relate to liver or bile duct function or disease.
