Can Any Online Doctor Help Me With The Results Of Renal Ultrasound?

My Renal Ultrasound findings were kidneys normal in size with iso to slightly hyperchoic parenchymal echotexture compared to the liver. Right Kidney measures 10.6 cm and left kidney measures 10.2 cm. No mass, stone or hydronephrosis can be seen. No free fluid.

Impression is slightly increased renal echotexture consistent with medical renal disease. Please correlate with clinical exam findings. No obstruction or suspicious mass.

Can you tell me what this means?

Hi,
There is a possibility that your kidneys have mild damage. this can be easily assessed by means of a few tests like Blood urea, and Serum Creatinine, and a urine examination for proteins, and maybe an estimation of your kidney filtration rate if any of these tests show any anomaly.
On the other hand, if all these reports are within normal limits, you can rest easy, and probably follow up with a yearly ultrasound, and may be a test called urine for micro-albuminuria for early detection of kidney problem.
Hope I have been able to help you.
