Hallo
Thanks for your query.Your brother had high grade fever with chills and his ultra sound scanning shows loss of corticomedullary differentiation which is suggestive of Renal Paranchymal Disease.Pl consult Nrphrologist who will advise you to get his Renal Function Test done. It looks like that your brother is in Chronic Renal Failure and may need Renal Transplant
