Mr. Lybrate user, usually mild fluid accumulation in pleural spaces (aroubd lungs) is common, upto 2 mm. Its not necessary to have fluid, in few people, its gound absolutely dry evn. But when fluid of 5 mm of fluid accumulation was found, it might be due to any liver pathology, heart c/o, renal pathology. Etc. That sgain can be diagnosed by the nature of symptoms expressed out. Mostly found in acute or chronic infections also.
