Dr. Yang Ziqi
The normal thickness of the gallbladder wall should be between 1-3 mm. The gallbladder is one of the organs in the human body, primarily responsible for bile secretion. If a patient's gallbladder wall thickness exceeds 3 mm, possible conditions include chronic cholecystitis, gallbladder adenomyosis, or other diseases. The patient should undergo relevant examinations such as gallbladder ultrasound and liver function tests to determine the underlying cause. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention when experiencing discomfort, clarify the diagnosis, and receive standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance.
