The gallbladder wall thickness of 5 mm is usually considered critical, details are as follows:

Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the gallbladder wall does not exceed 3 mm. When the thickness of the gallbladder wall reaches 5 mm, it may be inflammation of the gallbladder, leading to congestion and edema of the gallbladder wall. It may cause cell necrosis, proliferation, and even cause severe gallbladder gangrene, suppurative perforation, etc., which is prone to malignant lesions, so it is considered serious.

It is recommended that patients see a doctor in time and take anti-inflammatory bile tablets, clindamycin tablets, ursodeoxycholic acid capsules and other drugs as prescribed to improve inflammation.
