Preparation needed for an abdominal ultrasound (gallbladder and liver):
- The night before the ultrasound, eat a light, low-fat dinner.
- Come to the department at your appointment time, fasting (from 6 hours before). For example, if your appointment is at 12 noon, after a light, low-fat breakfast at 6 a.m., do not eat anything else until the ultrasound is done.
- Note that during the fasting period you should not stop taking the medicines prescribed for you.
- If you have had an ultrasound before, bring the result with you.
