Service Providers for Gall Blader Fluid for Gram Stain
Gallbladder fluid Gram staining is a diagnostic test used to identify bacterial infections in the gallbladder or biliary tract. The fluid is collected during procedures like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or surgery. Preparation typically involves fasting and adjusting medications if necessary. The sample is stained and examined under a microscope to identify bacteria and determine whether they are Gram-positive or Gram-negative. Risks include infection, bile leakage, or injury during fluid collection. Positive results indicate the presence of bacterial infection, which aids in guiding antibiotic therapy. Negative results may require further culture or testing for definitive diagnosis.
